Here is his:

So his looks to be July 1962.
Mine looks to be Dec 1962

It is manufacturing information from the frame supplier (date of manufacture, etc).

Hello, This is my very first posting here. Had to wait a day or two,I am chompin at the bit. I have been looking for other people that have these numbers on there frame rails. I have a 1960 GMC 1002 that was a very early production out of Pontiac. The original owner, now 91 flew up there to get the truck in late 1959. When I took the truck apart, I was pressure washing the frame when these red numbers started showing thru the crud. I am also a member of the 6066GMC Club and have asked around there. No one else seems to have them. I am guessing some rails got the numbers, and others did not. This thread has shown me that Chevy and GMC had the numbers. Here is a picture of my numbers. Any help with the decoding much appreciated. Thanks and glad to be here, GM

Thanks Lostmy65, Forgot to mention the first line, 1002&1502 STD was for 1/2 ton and 3/4ton Standard Transmission Frame. The next row is probably the manufacturers code for this particular frame rail set. The last four digits offset to the right on this line, I am guessing, are the number of rail pairs. The last row is September 26, 1959,which I suspect is the date the frame rail pair was completed. I would bet that Chevrolet frames also could have these codes, but to date, I have not seen any. Come on Chevy guys, give em up, haha. GM
