Default Engine size in VIN

Is there a quick way via the VIN to check for engine size for GMT 900?
I'm looking for Chev or GMC 07-09 RCSB with 5.3, and don't want to go through all the dealer BS looking in the glove box and find out I'm looking at a 4.3 or a 4.8.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that list.
I'm just starting truck shopping and don't want to get lied to about a 4.8 being a 5.3
