It's a bunch of tiny dents that it's drawn with. Haven't been able to line up the number with anything yet, but didn't put a lot of info into it. If i recall when i decoded it, it's a fremont truck.
Mine has a similar number. It too is a '66 Fremont truck with power brakes. It says 760-1 and is "engraved". Looks like a vibrating pen that makes small divots like a center punch and was done before the body was painted. The firewall also has grease pencil writing saying 760. I can only guess it was the job number, but not sure why it would have the "-1" at the end.

Picture from cortcomp's post #126 with his 561-1 below shows the similarities. Both in the exact same spot.
