I know this is a shot in the dark, but anyone have any idea what the number "254" means crayoned on the firewall (near heater box). I know about firewall markings in general. I just can't figure out 254...
Thanks in advance.

Is it on raw metal underneath the blackout paint, or was it applied on top of the blackout paint?

On top of the blackout paint...

Could be an assembly sequence number, although Styling frowned on having things like that visible on finished cars (unlike all the firewall graffiti-laden restorations you see these days).

isn't that the truth, i have had many original cars, including the 68z i now own, i have never saw the pbt bull under the hood of any. so isked my dad who was a chevrolet dealer until 4 years ago. he told me maybe the were there sometimes, but usually they came off the first time you washed the car. my car looks to have a cpx under the black firewall paint. hard to tell.

My car had 252 under the heater box on top of the paint.

Thanks, John! Am I correct that an assembly sequence number would be the "locked in" number that you mention in your report on the assembly process?
Sorry to be a little slow in getting back to this... Have to work every now and then to keep my toys up!
Last week I (finally) got original pictures from a previous owner before he painted the firewall in a restoration. The 254 was the only such marking visible on the whole wall --just like you said. Like Jonesy's 252, it was mostly covered by the heater box. There was no sign of PTB markings.

Probably a Fisher Trim Shop sequence number, since it was covered by the heater blower case, which was one of the first parts installed on the Chevy side of the plant.
