How do you decode them?
For example, this one.
Thanks
The four digit number on your example represents the Chrysler part number. The seven digit number is the label number that was assigned to that particular part number. Your label style is the American Standard version. Those were usually found on "E" code LA built cars and "G" code St. Louis built vehicles. The Pontonier seat belts were usually found on the "B" code Hamtramck plant cars.
The dates on the Pontonier belts are straight forward and easy to decipher. The are designated by a year along with the quarter of that year. Dates run concurrent with the calendar and not model year production.
The American Standard dating is represented by alpha numeric characters. The alpha character is not part of the date. It signifies the vendor or substation for the manufacturing facility that is responsible for that particular belt. The numeric portion represents the week and year the belt was completed.
The samples below illustrate some of the variations that existed. There were "F", "M", and "T" vendors (along with a couple of others) that existed in both the 1969 and 1970 model years. Also notice the sample where the labels are for the same belt application but use different vendors and "line information" setup. There were some American Standard belts that used the alpha numeric AND quarter dating on their labels.
