The RPO code list is often found in the service manual for the vehicle. There are on-line RPO code "decoders", but here's the list for 1998 which may be similar to that for your year.

I see you've got the L31 engine so, while you didn't say, your vehicle must be 1996 or later.

In the future, it would help if you put your vehicle info in your signature and then update as needed. The GU6 is the 3.42 gear ratio, same as my 2005 Tahoe Z71. I do like the 3.73 gear in the 90 K2500 of my girl's. The 3.42 is a better highway gear for mpg. JB6 is the disc/drum vacuum brakes rated for up to 7200 lbs. GVWR. Again, my girl's K2500 has the same GVWR rating brakes.

Just sent him his build sheet. He’s got 6800 gvwr and JB6 brakes, so I’d say he’s got a 14 bolt…possibly…maybe not.
How did you get a build sheet without a VIN? No doubt that you got it but I did not know you could without a VIN.
