That front of dash looks a little bent up.

Does it look like that in real life, too?

I do too, but I wouldn't want to lose any information in the process. I have a list of the six or seven that I am subscribed to.

Definitely a ding Keith. But I read it as leaving the factory with it. It is not a build sequence stamp. Truck seems honest.

1968 GMC 3/4 ton markings on back of cab after bed removal. Any ideas what the 525 represents?

Driver door 1970 Fremont suburban. Not chalk, but more like etched into paint.

My guess would be:

525 = build sequence number. You might find this in other areas, too (on the front end sheetmetal, radiator support, rear axle, front suspension crossmember, inside one of the wheels, front of the pickup box, etc).

What do the firewall marks on this truck look like?
