Truck Model and Fitment Information
The truck badge describes a family, while fitment usually depends on the production year and the engine, gearbox, axle or cab actually installed.
What to check
Collect information at the same level as the requested part
Engine parts need engine identity, gearbox parts need gearbox identity, and body parts need cab generation and mounting details. A single vehicle photo is useful context but rarely replaces the relevant assembly plate.
- Record the full model designation and model year.
- Photograph the plate of the assembly related to the part.
- State installation side, axle or system position where relevant.

FAQ
Buying questions
Is the VIN always available or sufficient?
Not always. Use it when available, but assembly plates and part evidence may still be necessary.
Why do body parts need model-year photos?
Cab facelifts can change mounting points, connectors and panel shape within one series.
What if the assembly plate is unreadable?
Provide several photos, stamped numbers, dimensions and the vehicle information available for a conditional review.

View details02MOQ and Mixed Orders
MOQ is reviewed line by line because a large assembly, a small seal, a stock item and a custom-packed part do not share the same supply condition.

A trade term defines responsibility and handover scope; it does not by itself describe every local charge, document or delivery condition.
