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 .

Sorry to rehash this, but is this the numbering system across the board? Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

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? The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

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 ...

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.
