Title: 69 LOS L48 ID
Post by: ccargo on September 16, 2008, 09:32:06 PM

I looked at this car over the weekend. It has a 388 cast block, BM 0813 axel, TH 350 and factory A/C. I couldn't see the partial at the rough casting as usual it was too difficult.  Should I exppect to find it there during this time period at LOS?

I've got some Dec cars with the VINs on the pad.  I've got a few pads from earlier cars (August and September builds) with the VINs on the oil filter casting area.  I don't have an 1109HB block stamping to compare to this one.

That pad stamp looks fine.
Not surprising for the VIN to be by the oil filter for that build date.
