Look on the top of the frame rail between the driver upper control arm and the steering gear box. The same exact stamp will be on top of the driver frame rail under the cab. You are looking for an 8 digit stamp with the second digit being a letter.

Examples:

9S123456

9= 1969 (first digit is the year)

S= Saint louis assembly

123456= assembly sequence/partial VIN (6 digits only)




7A123456

7= 1967

A= Atlanta assembly

123456= assembly sequence/partial VIN



let us know what you find.

The S66040 is the number stamped on top of the frame by the steering gear box as well as under the cab on top of the frame rail. That is why I couldnt ever find anything online. It seems to be missing a digit or 2. I wonder if any other years came in this format, where there is only 6 digits? Do you think that maybe the stamp messed up somehow.

Here are 2 more images from my frame. I have heard that some years dont have the dimples for power steering. Not 100% sure on that.

67 trucks do not have the provision for a modern style power steering box mounted to the frame as they were equipped with a ram assist system the cylinders that mounted to the steering linkage.

Well that narrows it down to 68-72, I saw on a different thread where some guy was saying that the 467 numbers on the front meant it was made 4-1967, but that goes against what you are saying. Also I read that the 67's dont have that provision in a few threads. Thanks for the help.
