VIN decoder

I have tried putting my VIN into the decoder here on this site as well as another one, BOTH say the VIN has to be 17 characters long, I am only coming up with 13 on the drivers side windshield pillar. What am I missing? I have a C3 1977.

I don't believe they started using the 17 digit VIN until 1981 or there abouts.

THANK YOU! I was really hoping I was not about to have a real problem here! What about the trim tag? Where can I find a decoder for that?

Thanks again!

The alpha for the month of production is under the vin link.

Same link go to the top of the page and click on 1977 corvette center. Left column to click " production & performance" for ext and int. decodes.
