I'm building a 68 Coronet for my kid and was curious how anyone can tell from the VIN weather how body ID number matches the rear trunk lip, I know 69 n up the vin matches that numbers but 68 and back doesn't?

And the lower right of an original fender tag....as Jim said

I believe 68 and older cars, the fender tag is more important than the vin tag but of coarse you need the vin tag. Build sheet!!! Last edited by davesmopars; 01/06/19 04:40 PM.

It's just a 318 auto car but was curious on the 68 and back cars why the body numbers weren even close to the VIN. Thanks for the help, if the fender tag surfaces I'll chime back in.

Your body is stamped E - Los Angeles 8 - 1968 W - Coronet 094485 - Order Number The order number is on the fender tag, build sheet and Window Sticker also. The build sheet and Window Sticker are the only thing that ties to the two numbers together.
