1993 Z71

Hello All,
Not sure if this is the right section to post this but I'm sure Ill be told if not. I recently received my dads 1993 Chevy Z71 after his passing. All the codes on the glove door are pretty much unreadable and I haven't taken out the seat or tank to check for a build sheet. I have not been able to find a truck with these specs out there and am wondering if it could have been a "special order" if that was possible then.

Breakdown;
1993 Chevrolet Z71 stepside
V-6 with a five speed manual
Not sure of the correct paint name but is the green/teal color with the silver Z71 and orange offroad decal. Theis is not a two tone, all one color and original paint.

I've seen many two tone and V8's with the manual but not the V6.

Any more of these out there?

Welcome to the forum from Oregon.

Post the VIN and can get a build sheet.

Nice looking truck, from what I could see in your avatar pic.
I've heard you can go to a dealership and they should be able to get you a RPO printout, depends on the dealership though.
I know that Chevy has a "heritage" website that may be able to do the same.
Or maybe reach out to @1ton-o-fun , he has a compnine account that he will run VINs for members when he has time.

Oh....and welcome from Alberta Canada

I've never seen nor even heard of a v6 Z71. Anyone can slap on a sticker... Check the RPO codes on your glove box for said code

Has anyone mentioned the glovebox?


Welcome - let's see some pics while you're searching for RPO codes.

CompNine is like $5, or used to be, for their vin decoder to get the RPOs.... it seems pretty ok....

Pretty sure its a real Z71- Has the skid plates, welded lower control arms instead of stamped and the different shocks.

I go to the Chevrolet Forum and get VIN decoding there. The truck is old enough that it did not tell me much but does say the V6 and manual transmission are what it came with.


According to KBB, there was an option of Z71 with the V6 and manual transmission. I would say that is very rare.
