Here's a link that has all the info you need to decode your data plate:

And if you want a shiny new data plate, this is the place.

D81 - D = Light beige crush vinyl and medium beige ladder pattern woven plastic - 81 = Custom Cab (in the context of D)

Marti does want $3.00 more for the rivets. They don't come with the reproduced data plate, so you have to add them to your order if you want them.

Another forum member posted a truck with one less of a sequence number. However, it was built at the Michigan Assembly so not the same plant.
