if your truck is registered as a 96 and the build date is 6 of 96 it should be a late 96. model years run june to june. so a truck built in 5 of 95 is usually a 95 and a truck built in 6 of 96 is a 96 model. June build vehicles really can fall either way. but say a truck with a build date of 4 of 95 is a 95 and a build date of 9 of 95 is a 96. kind of confusing!
