'68 Hemi 4-speed drivetrain ID stampings

Hey gang..
Not sure if an all-encompassing question has been posed, but I didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Car: '68 Hemi Charger R/T 4-speed

Topic: ID stampings

Question: We all agree for the most part, that in '68, the VIN of the car was stamped on the block on the driver's side upper bellhousing mating area with the bellhousing of either the 727 or 4-speed stamped the same. Now, on a 4-speed, was the pad that's actually on the gearbox get stamped with the partial VIN "8B******" as well?

Cheers,
Troy

If the transmission was stamped with the partial vin (not all '68's were), it would be on the raised pad on the side of the transmission.

Here's a Hemi example. Concerning non stamped examples, FWIW I've never seen an original 68 Hemi car that did not have a stamped pad.

Thanks Scott...
To clear things up, the drivetrain was stamped with the partial VIN as opposed to the body panels being stamped with the VON in '68.

Yes, on a '68 "performance engine" - the block & 4-speed (or 727) will have the last 8-digits of the VIN# (NOT the Shipping Order Number, S.O.#, that is stamped on the body).

Correct, here is the VIN tag from the same car

Here is the fender tag from the same car

Here is the trunk lip body stamping from the same car. The core support number stamping matched but the engine was a replacement.
