I’ve been trying to understand the MFR Body Code for my Chevrolet, specifically the Chevy Silverado and Trailblazer. Can anyone explain exactly what this code is and where I might find it on my vehicle? I’ve heard that it can be quite important for identifying parts, especially when looking to modify or replace something.

Here’s what I’m curious about:

  • Location: Where can I look to find this code? Is it under the hood, on the door frame, or somewhere else?
  • Interpretation: Once I find it, how do I interpret what I see? Is there a reference guide somewhere?
  • Relevance: Why is this code important? How does it help with compatibility for parts or accessories?

I’d appreciate any insights or experiences you have that could help clarify this for me. Thanks!

I’m not familiar with the MFR Body Code. Is it the same as the VIN? I could use a little help in understanding this.

No, it’s different! The MFR Body Code provides specifics about the body style and trim, while the VIN includes information about the car’s overall specifications.
