The GMTIIc does not have lug holes. I believe a model from 03 would have them but I may be wrong.

It's possible.

Lug holes went out during the "Y" series, and "Y" was produced from 2002 through 2004. So some "Y"s have lug holes and some do not. Earlier series models would all have lug holes; later serial models would not.
