It's a STL tag so the core should read G8R. Seeking: 1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs. Over 2,000 thanks to you!

That'll teach me to beleive anything I read off the internets. Thanks for the info about the inspector stamp too. I got the tag off last night and it is clearer on the back and definately stamped from the back. 1968 Road Runner hardtop 440 4spd 2010 Ram 1500 Laramie 1992 Ramcharger

I've seen them for $30-60 a pair ($15-30 each rivet!). I understand it is illegal to even posess them so I am going to proceed with caution if I was to hypothetically think about finding a pair. 1968 Road Runner hardtop 440 4spd 2010 Ram 1500 Laramie 1992 Ramcharger

How can you tell the fender tag was a STL tag? 1968 Road Runner hardtop 440 4spd 2010 Ram 1500 Laramie 1992 Ramcharger

They're actually NYLON cord. *Goodyear SPEEDWAY* OTHER: Black Upper Door Frame Color. U/B - ok Bright Blue Metallic Racing Stripe. B/8 is the "buffed paint" - if it was S/8 - it would be a stripe code BUT there is no S/8 stripe in '68. "8" is the paint code for "bright blue metallic" in '67. Numbers when used for stripe colors are decals. (in '68) Letters when used for stripe colors are paint. (in '68)
