Thanks for the info. I understand the VIN format identifies the world plant location with the first three digits.
Link to VIN identification:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vehicle_Identification_Numbers_(VIN_codes)/GM/VIN_Codes#American_GM_factories

GM has traditionally encoded the platform as the fourth character of the VIN. Other content includes an engine code and manufacturing plant. GM’s VIN format is as follows:

on Sample Description
1 1 World Manufacturer Identifier
2 G
3 6
4 D G Platform
5 M Platform Series Code
6 5 Body style
7 7 Restraint type
8 N Engine type
9 0 Check digit
10 3 Model year
11 0 Factory ID
12 1 Sequential number
13 2
14 3
15 7
16 6
17 2

So I am not sure what you are referring to. I don’t have my new truck Vin but in this sample the first digit is 1 for USA and second digit is G for Fort Wayne. I know my 21 truck had a sticker on the door that says manufactured in Fort Wayne.
Digit eleven is for factory ID
The problem is I can’t seem to find a list of all the code designations for different plants.
