I know there was a thread about this but I can't find it. . . anyone remember how to decode the Karman body number thats stamped in the trunk floor by the lock ?? Mine is 131657. . it was something about the first 3 digits are the month and day ??
Also I think I remember reading about another number stamped under the dash. . . Am I making that up, because I don't have one there . . Thanks for any help Dave |

BTW - to use the decoder that Sir Andy posted above, you use the year of build - which can be either Aug-Dec of the year prior to the MY, or Jan - June/July of the MY - based upon the Month/Yr on your VIN sticker on the rear driver door jamb. Then Google that year of manufacture for a calendar & start counting the week #1 even if only one day (e.g.: 1972 Jan. 1 is Sat & = week #1 even though it's only 1 day).
Note that the VIN sticker month can be the same or different than the month you come up with by counting out the weeks (e.g.: my buddy has a 73 built about a week before mine in 8/72 but it's dated 9/72 on the VIN sticker, while my Chassis no. decodes to 8/31/72 with 8/72 on the VIN sticker). |
