Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how we got from SPD, door stickers and casting dates to painted tops, but then again, I muddied the waters myself with bench seat info.

My T/A has an SPD of 4/15, a casting date of 4/6 and a 4/70 door sticker. I wonder what the actual build date was, because I can't possibly imagine that the motor could be done and in the car in nine days time after casting. I'll try to remember to look at the block for the assembly date.

Even if the door sticker is the "be all end all" date, it still covers a whole month, and let's say the sticker says "3/70" and the line worker is placing it on the car on 4/1. Do you REALLY think he went back for a NEW, "correct" sticker? I have a bridge and some swampland for you if you do.
