Vin Reads: WP29-C1G-165600, I understand & decoded all options on build tag, but not sure about these numbers: Order Number(?) reads: 113 067002... Also, the rear bumper has the tiny vertical slots the 71 & up Mopes had for the bumper jack, but I know 70's did not on ebodys and remember hearing a few 71 E & B bodys didn't as well as it was an early 1971 change...(?) Your thoughts? Last edited by Locker68; 01/13/09 01:26 AM. 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code

That, or the bumper was changed at some point. Lots of folks who put rechromed bumpers on these cars years ago, didn't know there was a difference ...
