I had forgotten original rim stamps are read from outside, service rims are read from inside.  Mystery solved. I am good with service rims 

Maybe in General terms, but this is not a fast and hard rule:

Take my Early "DF" 15 x 6 Z28 rims are factory and are read from the inside. I am sure there are other exceptions to this. Same photos

My thought would be Measure the width of the Slot. I might have this worong, When did the Service Wheel slots go narrower from 1-1/8" to 1"
? could be 1970

Could it even be possible they got the 6 & 9 mixed up and this is merely a 1968 Service XG 14 x 6 Disc Brake wheel.

I can only find XC for 66/67 and that is 5inch wide wheel

additional dating can be found on the barrel.

The Fuel tank would have the secrets ,,,,,,,,,,,
Well, anyway.  If the Broadcast sheet was found and saved it could answer a lot, even a partial.

I use DOT 5 in Three Cars with No problems;

Often the Problems are related to age and lack of use and proper maintenance.

Personally, as a show driver car the risk to paint finish is way more a hazard than the detrimental effects possible to soft goods but I do acknowledge that many rebuilders with Huge amounts of experience are ANTI DOT 5.

DOT3 make a Great Paint stripper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have use the following for Driver restoration Nat finish- Just one of the Many Many options out there:

Stove Bright Hi Temp Stove Paint
# 6201 Charcoal
Mfr. FORREST PAINT CO
Eugene, OR
541-342-1821

"with a final assembly date of 02D on the trim tag "

I was under the impression that the Final Release -Shipper- Date is found via a NCRS

This rear was "Found" in Everett Wa. Loose.
No Car data.

Just submitted as a possibility as pertains to the Story of the TSB & how difficult it was done in the field.

Rear is being reunited with a Early 67 SS350 Vert that had a incorrect 10 bolt (*Happens a lot over the years)

1967 12 bolt.
We think the below applies>?

"If the axle bracket didn't have holes to mount the stop bracket, the service kit required the bumper stop bracket to be welded to the axle bracket, rather than bolted-on as was done at the factory,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"

Oh & Huge "Risk" working the outlets and plug configuration for proper use.

Not worth the ask at this point. (*opinion)

Here is My 68Z intake dated 10.8.67

Ask him for the casting date on the back side since the Baffle appears detached>?

^^ My response should read So I resorted to Brite Zinc Plating as an acceptable alternative.

BEFORE & AFTER (*Photos)

I found it VERY difficult to find a source for a "Restoration" finish matching the Galv appearance, So I resorted to Brite Zone as an acceptable alternative. Also seen them both Stamped and unstamped w/ date
