Field b (LOS vs NOR)
LOS - Fisher Body body scheduling code
The LOS (Los Angeles/Van Nuys) body scheduling code is a letter followed by one to three digits, e.g., F103. Based on data analysis only (there is no GM documentation yet available that describes this code) - but with consistent application to thousands of datapoints - CRG believes the code was used by LOS Fisher Body (and other plants that built multiple carlines) to aid in scheduling the body build order.

The letter indicates the approximate production day of the month for the start of the assembly of each vehicle body. It began with letter "A" on the first day of the month of the Fisher production calendar, incremented at the start of each additional production day to the next alphabetic letter, and was reset to letter "A" at the start of the next production month. (Note that the Fisher production calendar is known to differ slightly from the calendar month, and we also do not yet know exactly how the Fisher production calendar related to the Chevrolet monthly production reporting calendar.)

The one-to-three digit sequence number that follows the letter was reset to 1 at the start of each production day and was incremented serially with each body built by the factory as the day progressed. Data analysis indicates that the sequence number at the LOS plant was assigned regardless of model or body type. By this we mean that Camaros and full-size passenger cars both incremented the same sequence counter. The unit counter was reset to 1 the next day as the day-of-the-month code letter incremented to the next letter. In the example, F103 would indicate the sixth day of production for a given month and the 103rd body started on that sixth day of production.

Looks like the tags and title sold for $550. I also reported this auction to ebay twice! I guess they no longer care about illegal activities.

Originality / Re: 1968 original rear brake hose

Okay, that makes a little more sense.

.490 is just under 31/64" (almost 1/2") and .400 is just over 25/64" (almost 3/8").

The picture I posted above measures .435 (just under 7/16"), but again, I don't believe it to be an original.

John, I'm not sure what you mean by thicker. I've never seen any brake hoses that are 1/8" thick or 3/16" thick.

The only description in the P&A (for 1968 rear) is "7/16-20 ext, 7/16-24 int, 12.75" OL"

That's the 1st version, but there was an overlap period where both were used. My Van Nuys 05D (12 bolt) used the 69 version, but I've seen other late cars with the 1st version as well. Not sure why. Maybe 10 bolt -vs- 12 bolt?? Norwood -vs- LA? A case where the factory was using up what was left?? Maybe John could comment.

Ed

Here's a late 68 and all of 69 version (I think it's an aftermarket hose, but it looks basically the same as an original):

John, what's the build date of your car? Late (approx late April or early May, 1968) cars went to the 69 style of rear hose.

An LA built car wouldn't have been delivered to Canada so that route won't work.

Need a better picture of the engine stamp, but from what I can see, they don't appear to match. Clearer (high resolution) pictures would help.

Can you see if you have anything in your data base on 124378L332229

It is, but there's not much info on it. It was submitted by "bowties" on this site. HERE'S the thread mentioning his car, and HERE'S the thread where he's looking for the original engine.

Nope. Saginaw and Muncie rods were different, and even different between the Muncie small block and Muncie big block cars.

Check out the AIM UPC M20, Sheets A4 and A5.

Thanks for the link.. The CRG site really needs a "search" function.

At the main forum screen, the search link is at the top left. There's also an advanced search feature next to it.
