Re: Numbers Matching

All kinds of stuff. Primary seems to include the door & door jam tags, SPID, build sheet, frame, title, original documentation & protect-o-plate.

Most parts have a stamp or tag of some sort, including the hardware. You can trace down to year or close. For example, if you search for the casting number on your block, the internet will provide the years the block was built. If it matches the truck, then as Chevy trucks are concerned, the numbers match.

Some parts include a part number and build date, such as an intake manifold. As I recall, every date stamp on my truck is a month before the truck was built. Gives you some idea of their inventory flow. Combined with the part number casting bumped up to GM inventories and applications, the "numbers" most definitely match.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
