Interesting unknown frame numbers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was under the Longhorn dropping the tranny, and I discovered an interesting number that i can not figure out.
I know you can't read it in the photo..but it reads;
3977002 130 2 2616

It is located on the passenger side under the cab...you can see my wrench and the head of a bolt sticking up on top...that is the tranny cross member...the forward most bolt in the TH400 location.
The 1 could be I for all I know...
I know it is not the VIN...nor partial vin.

I know it is not the build date of the truck...her birthday is in June.

Does any one have any idea as to what it could be?
I think the i30 could be that it is a one ton...but that is about all I can fugure on my own.

I think it is a part number for the assembly process.

Yeah, that's about all we can come up with here too.

Maybe GM put it there so we would have something differnet to talk about and ask questions of each other??

Actually, a part number would have been the best guess I could come up with also.
