My first 3 VIN digits are 123xxx. June/July was a guess.
I was going by the block dress numbers on my 292 [original block, rebuilt after 25 years in a crate, when I put a block out of a '67 K/20 Forest Service stepside] F0627XAE is the dress # on my original L25 block.
F0626UH is the number on my forest service surplus block. I had assumed they were a year-and-a day apart.

I have to turn the key to 1 o'clock for the IGN-ON devices to work. Like Heater and Wipers. When I had a radio, it was set up so I could play it without the key being on.
Did a PO modify your electrics? Are the Side Markers reflectors-only, or do they now light up?
