Build Numbers vs Registry Numbers

[ViperJeff]

For starters, they have nothing to do with each other.

Viper Truck Registry Number
This is a number unique to the Viper Truck Registry to help track trucks without showing the VIN number to everyone on the planet. It is not tied to anything Dodge and has nothing to do with the Build Number of any Viper Truck (However, you give me the VTR and I can tell you the build number)

Build Numbers

2004
The numbers are maintained by Dodge and I have a contact at Dodge that helps me learn these numbers. 2004 is the only year that Dodge Officially numbers the entire production year. The VCA's have both a VCA number 1-50 and a Production number 1-3057

2005
The only 2005's that were Officially numbered by Dodge are the Yellow Fevers 1-500 (although only 497 may have been built) and Commemorative Editions 1-200 (may be 201 of them, oops!). The rest of the 2005's have been numbered based on build date and VIN.

2006
Only the Night Runners were numbered by Dodge 1-400. The rest of the 2006's have been numbered based on build date and VIN.

Build Dates
Simple, it's you the VIN tag of the Drivers door on the lower left. It's the MDH (Month Day Year). Use the Date of MFR to determine the year

Do you have any of the silver or flame red 06's in your registry?

I'm betting they were first off the line 06's after 05's to be in those colors?:dontknow:

It may surprise you that most of them were built in February and March of 2005 to include some black ones

Seriously? My truck is an 05, and it was made in March of 05... are you suggesting that I could possibly have one of the last 05's made?

 

[ViperJeff]

Not even close, the ones we were talking about we're 2006 production year trucks that were built early. You would have seen one in Walker Texas Ranger

 

[Devil's Savior]

Ahhh ok. Well would have been cool to know I had one of the last. Wonder how many of the 05's were created in 05.
