Just the last five digits are all that is required, that is actually the VIN sequence number.
This is a VIN breakdown for GM light trucks, different than used for Cars or Medium Duty Trucks.
5 Country of Build (1,4,5 denote USA)
G World Make Modifier G = Hummer
T H3
D GVWR/Brake System D = 5001-6000 GVWR Range (lbs) Hydraulic brakes
N Line Chassis N = Hummer
1 Series 1 - 4x4
3 Body Type 3 = Four-door cab/utility
6 Engine Type 6 = L52, 3.5L L5, MFI
9 Check digit (randomly generated)
6 Model Year 6 = 2006
8 Manufacturing Plant 8 = Shreveport, LA
105387 VIN Sequence number. First digit (1) is not used on this vehicle for VIN range and may change from year-to-year. For example, one year it might be 1, the following year 5. If the plant will produce greater than 99,999 vehicles it will be used and wil be zero until the 100,000 vehicle is produced. In this case, this vehicle was the 5,387 H3 to be issued a VIN.
