Questions - Why the long 6 digit numbers for the options?
Why do they start with 3 vs the number 4 seen on other spids?
Any ideas on the unusual VIN number?
Most SPID's have short 3 letter/numbers descriptors.
Also curious about the 3B85BC body side molding - Would this be the upper and lower moldings or just the upper? My truck had been repainted sometime in its early years and does not have the lower molding just the upper.
Thank you for your inputs!

Al,
These are all good questions, but first you truck is correct (except for the white paint).
The prefix and suffix numbers or letters are just production specific modifiers of an RPO code.
The center three are the root and all that most people need to worry about. The suffix digits are helpful is some cases. It is something I use, as an example, to determine if a truck had just a chrome front bumper or a chrome standard rear bumper too. They use the same code but the suffix tells the story when descriptions fade away from age.
In this case, the
3B85BC spid call out for a stand alone belt molding and tailgate trim.
These links should help a lot.

Nothing wrong with your VIN but I do invite you to visit the linked page in my signature to do your own decipher of it and the model number.
Hope this helps and feel free to drop me a line.
