This is a state issued VIN tag, using the correct VIN that matches both hidden VINs and, it is in the same location as the original VIN tag on the door jamb:

Decoding/Numbers / Please school me on IDing GM grill parts for 68
« on: November 18, 2013, 06:02:33 PM »
Hi guys,
I have a standard grill, bezels and upper/lower moldings and am having trouble deciphering if they are GM, GM service parts or, aftermarket reproduction.

The grill has numbers 3914772 stamped in the back bottom right hand side and just to the right of that there is UPP 88 025 stamped. Also a small white round sticker with "Made in Canada" around the circumference and a maple leaf in the center in red. That's all I can find on the center grill.




This was the "Made in Canada" sticker that came off when i washed the grill:


All I can find on the bezels is the letter N stamped in the lower outside corners.


I couldn't find any markings on the upper and lower moldings. Is there a certain place to look? Did GM stamp the moldings?

Does anyone know how to tell if these parts are GM.

I have the turn signal lights as well, how can i tell if those are GM, the only thing I found was "Made in USA" and an SAE number stamped on the housings.

Any help would be great, Thanks.

I bought this trans. Seller says it was from a wrecked 68SS and a dealer take out. Head mech. at a chevy dealer had it on a shelf (for 30+ years) slated for a high end restoration that never materialized, claims it has approx. 10k miles original, never rebuilt, never taken apart, hard to believe. Going to look at it Thursday. It's local pick-up for me so I'll pay cash. I'm praying every night that this trans does not need to be re-united with it's car because that would mean the story is bogus.

You could flash brighten with Zep-Alum. Use 10 parts water to 1 part brightener, spray on manifold and rinse off within 15 seconds. You can do this every time you want to deep clean the manifold. Caution if you leave it on to long, it will brighten the aluminum too much and it will look white.
