It was possibly an identifier stamp for Fisher body to know whether it was to go on a 2 door, 4 door, or convertible.

Bill,
The TC forum members may be right, but I can't imagine Chevrolet going through the time and expense to stamp these numbers into every single quarter panel made if it didn't serve a purpose. It's certainly not life or death for me if I don't get to the bottom of this, but I was just curious...

- It's just a number--has nothing to do with whether it's a SS or Malibu or even the part #. There was a thread on TC about this a while back.

- Looking at my 66 Chevelle from the back, with the trunk lid out of the way, in the top left and top right corners of the trunk opening, there is a number stamped into the sheetmetal, right next to where the trunk seal would go...
- Is this a partial VIN stamp, or is it just the fender part number? Anybody know the secret?
- You can see what I'm talking about here...
