Need a bigger picture.

Most of those typed texts can be figured out by looking at the field they are in.

May 17th production, the line number is a sequence number that means nothing, then there's the vin. 19 19 is the paint code. W30 and Y71 are RPO codes. Weight rating on axles. Your important things are the vin and the w30 and the paint.

You might find the original ordering dealer using the ZONE and DEALER numbers. There's a lengthy thread on here that includes a lot of them.

GM heritage will send you a copy of original dealer invoice. Only 50.00 for a sheet of paper 5-6 years ago. Interesting info on those.

The numbers across the bottom are weight ratings in lbs and kgs. There's a code for trim.
