I’ve always found these codes confusing! If only they could print it in plain English. Anyone up for a decoding party?
Haha, I’d join that party! But seriously, taking pictures of the codes can help every time you need to refer back to them!

I found my code in the trunk area, tucked under the carpet. Anyone else have unusual locations where they found theirs?
Wow, I never thought to check there! I’ll have to look under mine. Looks like there’s still a surprise left in my Chevy!
Don’t forget about the spare tire area! Sometimes the code can be found on a label there too.

This is great info! I recently learned the code can also be found on the Certification Label on the dash. Make sure to check that one too!
Thanks for that! I’m looking at my dash now. Every bit of help is appreciated!
So is finding the MFR Body Code just a matter of luck? I feel like my Chevy is hiding it from me! Anyone else feel this way?
It sure can feel that way! Vehicles can be quirky. Just keep checking; it’s bound to turn up eventually!
The MFR Body Code is crucial for understanding the compatibility of aftermarket parts. It helps you determine what modifications align with your vehicle’s specifications. Always check before you buy!
Great point! If you’re modding your Chevy, make sure you consider any potential insurance implications, too. Some modifications can impact your policy.
I’m curious, how do different states legislate vehicle modifications? I assume the MFR Body Code plays a role.
That’s a great question! Some states require inspections, while others are more lenient. Always check your local laws before modifying.

Don’t forget about your insurance carrier! If you’re modifying based on the MFR Body Code and don’t tell them, you might end up with a denied claim later.

Exactly! If you plan to upgrade with aftermarket parts, make sure to notify your insurance provider about the changes.
The MFR Body Code can be a total lifesaver in understanding what fits and what doesn’t. It’s like a cheat sheet for your modifications!

So true! But it’s also a reminder that not all mods are viewed equally by potential buyers.
