Radiator support in '68 should have the Order # stamped on, look on the upper yoke near the battery. Order # is also on fender tag. Might also be #s stamped on left quarter trunk rail like on my '68 RR.
The SO# is on the core support , should be on the face that the rad may partially block, and under the trunk gasket on the drivers side . The VIN is NOT stamped anywhere on a 68 other than the tag on the dash .

Not until 1969 were the VIN's put on the body. The SO# is on the broadcast sheet as well as the fender tag and the used as the body stamps, more of an internal Chrysler thing than anything. Sometime in 68 the VIN numbers were put on the engine and trans, then in 69 they made it to the body. As for as significance, not really sure of what you are asking?
What he said, though the VIN on engine and trans is hit or miss , I had a sept 67 built 68 wit hthe engine and trans vin stamped , and a later marchish built 68 without the engine stamped. The significance is it is the only way to tie the body to an ORIGINAL fender tag , to tie the VIN to the fendertag you need the broadcast sheet and/or the ibm/punch card ... which doesn't exist for 68 and up ...

In '68 ALL performance engines (P, H, L & J) & their associated transmissions were stamped with the last 8 of the VIN# (340 383 4bbl 440HP & HEMI). As these saw the majority of warranty claims due to their intended purposes. Lesser drivetrains were NOT stamped. The S.O.# can be matched to an appropriate VIN# if one has a large enough database to access, I have a pretty good '68 Charger database - GG & a number of others do also. If it gets to the point of a legal issue, the authorities have records to match the correct body numbers with the correct VIN#: subpoena 'n lawyers 'n $$$s etc.

Not to thread jack, but can someone tell me all the places on a 70 Cuda convertible? I know of two on the body. Curious if there's more.
