Reference Details

Common issue
Dash VIN, trim tag, radiator-support stamping, and deck-lid-seal-lip stamping do not reconcile, or repaired/replaced sheetmetal lacks the expected body numbers.
Confidence
reported
Correct value
Primary body identification stamping on the radiator upper core support; for 1969-70 B-bodies, eight VIN characters stamped on the left-hand deck-lid seal lip as the secondary location, with primary and secondary numbers matching each other and reconciling with VIN/trim-tag characters.
Where to check
Radiator upper core support and left-hand deck-lid seal lip; compare with dash VIN plate and fender/trim tag records.
