Re: Big Block Short Bed 71

Cool! PM me whatever details I need to get it.

That's weird though. Mine says only TO42TTBG. That also puts the "bonus" numbers before the prefix, not after, on mine. Never seen a truck with anything that matched the VIN or a sequence number on the protecto or build sheet or VIN. Maybe one of the plants was set up to do it?

I don't want to get into conspiracy theories, but is there a remote chance one of the previous owners didn't know not to and restamped a block? If they followed the pattern for Chevelles and Camaros and so on that's what you'd get, but not normally in trucks.
