I am new to this forum thing. I'm trying to find out how to verify the authenticity of my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 Indy Pace truck. Can anyone tell me how?

 

Do a search in here for build sheet. There's a link to Dodge where you can ask for the build sheet from Dodge using your VIN. That should tell you.

 

That should be something that would be listed on a build sheet. All you have to do is write your vin down and either email Chrysler www.dodge.com, or go to your local dealer and they should run it for free.
Taking it to your dealer will be the quickest way of the two.

 

thanks guys I'm gonna go to the dealer that I used to work at. I'm actually a technician. I'm really trying to figure out this forum thing and find out as much about my truck as possible. does anyone know how to find the rpo codes on this truck?

 

Welcome to the forum
If its an Indy, quick way to check is, open the hood, look up at the sticker on the underside just behind the grill. Look for the codes for Primary color *PCH* Secondary color *QCH*. No other 96 would have that paint code. PCH is the brilliant blue and the QCH is the white paint.
When you get the build sheet must have both Sport Package *AGG* & Indy package *AGJ*

Hello,

This was a great question to ask. I just picked up one about a month ago. Here's another question to ask. The one I got is supposedly one of the 150 that were used for something in the race. (number 107) at least what i was told, is there a way to check this fact out by VIN or something?

thanks,

As far as I know there is no records of which 150 trucks were actually at the race that day. Way back in the late 90s quite a few of us owners were hanging out at indyram.org. Couple owners in there had trucks that were at the race that day. Couple other owners after seeing pics of the numbers in 3 locations on those trucks had vinyl sticker shops make up some for their trucks as well.

 

Yeah..that's what i thought. This one does have 2 stickers on there with the number 107 and it looks like it has been on there for a while.

Thanks again for the reply.

ya i have the indy ram as well and on the bottom underneath the truck i have the #19 in both sides below the doors. Along with a sicker thing on my tailgate. I still have the original stickers in the box, but my stripes on hood look like the clear coat over them is starting to flake off

 

If it looks like there was a fire in the engine bay, it's an Indy!

(sorry for the inside joke).
