Cab question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Blue/72** · 01-10-2015, 02:01 AM

In tearing down the front end of my truck I have been cleaning the firewall up with some buffing compound and wax and last night I found what seems to be a part number on the passenger side just under the firewall. I am just wondering if this is original or not? I have not found any info on any numbers being there. Thanks

I have seen numbers in that location also, but never checked into what they meant.
I'll be interested in what you find out !

Bump, still wondering what it could be

I suspect a date code for the individual stamping. It resembles the date codes on the front fenders of my '65 GTO.

Or - could be the last few digits of the individual part number but the spacing and different fonts would not suggest that.

By way of conversation I currently have design/release responsibility for the cab and pickup box (underbody) for GM full size trucks, so your question kind of falls into my area.
