I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

re: Factory inspection and Grease Marks
I just picked up a '68 (today!) with some original marks, including a ink stamp on the firewall which shows which shift built it (?)

"393" was on under the bonnet and the firewall.

re: Factory inspection and Grease Marks
I just noticed yesterday while at the shop that in addition to the "166" on the inside of each front fender, on the firewall and on the back of the cab, that number is also written on the front of the box:

I found the "393" on the front of the bed and the back of the cab, both on the driver's side.

re: Factory inspection and Grease Marks
Wow...I guess these numbers aren't necessarily dedicated to strictly body parts. While in the shop today moving stuff around I noticed that the "166" that I found on both fenders, the cab firewall and back wall and the front of the box was also written on the bottom of the instrument panel:
