This list flanges right up with the VIN breakdown that I was looking at. I cannot vouch for that breakdown but that's what it said. Just put the second digit series letter together with the third and fourth digit body style numerals. I'll paste it in below and try to verify later. I'll bet that sales code anomolies are self explanatory - it's s-a-l-e-s-m-e-n! lol
