Default Mfg date

Can the actual date of manufacture be determined by the VIN? Is there a chart available that shows which day each number in the final sequence of numbers was produced?

Any GM dealer can look up the build date.

I doubt there is a chart.

The VIN will not give you the build date. Take your VIN to your local Chevy dealer and see if they will give you a vehicle history report which will not only show you the build date, but also any dealer performed maintenance/warranty work and a list of options on the car.

The build month is located on the placard on the driver's door rear edge. A dealer can provide the specific date.

As said above, door tag will give you month. The dealer can get you exact date as fast as he can type it in.

...and, look under the passenger seat. That's where all the factory build-sheets for my '18 were.
