I've seen them before and they tie in to numbers found on the build sheet/body broadcast sheet. As for the "BF" found on the cowl tag, that was the plant designation for the Fremont, California assembly plant, and was used from late '65 through '69. Hope this helps...

[Chevelle-List] Driveline vibration debug
Well, it just goes to show ya, never take anyone's word for the work they do. We pulled the driveshaft off again, sent it down to CCI again, this time the owner put it on the machine and found it was out of balance. Got it back on the car this morning and MOST of the vibration is gone but not all. It still has a vibration that comes on at just about the same speed, only milder - almost, but not quite, tolerable. Personally, I think that CCI balanced the shaft but that it is oretty close to the outside edge of allowable runout. Dreamcruise is upon us so it'll have to wait until next week, but I'm pulling the shaft and having Dynotech check it out and make absolutely sure it is true and balanced. It is aggravating and distressing to not completely trust a company to build a part for you, not to mention expensive. Dynotech is charging me $65 just to check it out. And what do I do if they tell me it's got excessive runout or is still out of balance? It is a serious pain to argue with a vendor over the quality of the work they do. I just have that awful feeling that the guy is standing there looking at it on the machine and decides "close enough" when he knows it ain't. E
