Yes - a friend of mine worked for a Chrysler dealership back then and he was tasked with taking stuff to the local landfill including NOS Hemi pistons among other things.

This is the story I've read multiple times, but there's some debate as to whether it's really true. It is true that '67 and earlier are the only ones they have on microfilm. now.

#73 was San Francisco, might be close?
I like to have the dealership number book that they use when they once gave you that info.

The dealer Name was in the letter they sent me with the print out card. They don’t decode anything

They used to. They don't have the staff anymore. You're lucky to get a copy of the build card now.

He was in Sacramento. He changed to Chevrolet sometime in the sixties. Just a empty lot now.

You could try emailing Danielle and ask her. It's worth a try. She's been very helpful in the past. If you do, ask her if there's a website or any record of these dealership numbers with their info. They have one that they used when they used to supply this info.

I found one on line but it's for the newer Chrysler dealerships and maybe ones that are still in business not ones that are no longer in business. I looked up your number on there without any luck. It's a PDF so when you click on it, it will download the info. Like 40 pages.

I think Fastback Jon has a lot of the dealer codes, but not all of them. When he decoded my Satellite's punch card, he didn't have the dealer name, but he thinks it's because my car may have been a corporate car before it was sold.

I might have to email him sometime and see if he would make me a set of "tribute" cards for the '62. I'm not worried about the decoding, that's all been done.
Thanks

If the axle ratio is 3:55 that should be a 83/4 diff and not a Dana unless that is a misprint. I thought all HEMI and 440 4 gears (1967) came with a Dana.
In case anyone else would like this info:
Region#: 73 = San Francisco, CA
Dealer Code#: 61853 = Van Ness Chrysler-Plymouth Inc. San Francisco, CA
Region#: 73 = San Francisco, CA
