This link will tell you an insane amount of data about your truck. Just input your VIN and let it go. It also gives production numbers.

Thanks for that like that's pretty cool!

I have 1 of the 3 Blazers with all the same options as me. Pretty cool!

Thanks for that link! Great info!

I see my truck (1999) was built 1998-10-24

Total built in 1999 = 565,227 of which 12,219 were RHD. (2.16%)

I entered both of my trucks and it couldn't find either one. Bummer!

Hmm. Of the 264,906 of my truck made, 264,762 had the RPO code NQE which means it had a 20 gallon tank. So what did the missing 144 trucks have? That seems like wayy too low a number for it to have been an option. Special order?

EDIT: Oh, there are only 3 exact matches for my truck I'm special

GMC ZR2's are very rare. They were a Canadian only vehicle (which you know), so you can bet there were a very low # made!

I just didn't know how low the number was. I thought 5,000 - 10,000 not less than 2,000.

Really surprising!

For my 03' Chev Blazer they made just over 9,000 ZR2's.

So about 11,000 ZR2's made in 03. Not real exclusive, but only 4,000 of them were made for Canada.

I would like to see what the production numbers of an Xtreme would be.

Of which, it appears, 10,230 were shipped to Japan. That means all other RHD countries (UK & South Africa the only ones I have been able to find) had to share the remaining 1989.
