Does this stamped no on front of radiator core support match anything?

Yes, just to the right of center looking from the front of the car.
BUT, weird part is it appears to be stamped backwards. numbers to be printed right to left as if your looking at a mirror reflection of them. A combination of real light stamp and too much paint so I cant say with 100% honesty what said numbers are , other than the SS is
Agreed. In my case, the IBM card shows an unknown dealer code. FastbackJon has a lot of the codes, but not mine. Based on the code, he believes it may have been a corporate car for awhile before the eventual selling dealership (which i know was in Verona, WI) sold it to the "original" owner. Also, my window sticker is blank where the selling dealer's name usually is.
I thought Jon only did 66-67 Charger decoding >
 
Jon is happy to help out us non-Charger guys, too.

That sounds like what the reflection of the SS part number looked like on the radiator side on my car. Maybe they just stamped the number where-ever, front or back.
 
Got the back seat bottom out today and no build sheet there. Haven’t pulled the seat back but I don’t recall hearing of finding them there. I doubt there is one under the carpet as they have been replaced.
 
Do you have front buckets? If so, take the backs off and check there. Mine didn't have one, but others have found a build sheet there. Under the front seats, too.
 
Think moparnation74 said Lynch road cars were hit or miss on BS's. Now that I think about it.

Anytime Ive found a build sheet it has been in the back rest portion, not the bottom.
Have found a couple in the backs of the front seats ,,,but its rare. Also found a couple taped to the back of the glove box, Ive never found one under carpet or inside headliner
 
OK - well pulling the back rest out is not nearly as hard as the bottom can be but it may be a couple of days. It was a struggle getting one side of the bottom to release and it only did so after I laid across the tunnel, braced my back against the front seat, shoved as hard as I could with one hand and pounded on the bottom rail as hard as I could with the other. Of course once out it looks like someone had previously knocked the top of the sheetmetal hook rearward bending the top of it back. Instead of doing what I did - smacked it a couple times with a 5 lb hammer to straighten it - they just slapped the seat back in and pounded it down. Grrrr - careless people. Of course I strained my back in the process.
 
Limped out and pulled the back rest for the rear seat out and nothing there either.
 
Yes even back in 1960 dealer had to install the radio and antenna in my Parents 61 Pioneer. I still have the the delete plate, and possibly install instructions. Dad had the antenna installed on the left rear quarter.
If you look in the FSM for 1966 Belvedere there is a diagram showing where to drill the hole on the right front fender for the antenna.
 
I may have gotten confused trying to find a current website for Chrysler Historical Services which I'm not sure they still maintain. But in all the googling around this website for MMC Detroit came up and in reading through it there were many references to Chrysler Historical Services and I probably didn't fully understand their relationship with the historical society. To reproduce a trim tag they say they must first have a record of the cars build from FCA LLC - Historical Services and again references their contact info. So yes, the Historical Society itself with FCA (or whatever they are now) does not provide reproduction fender tags.

I assumed they had a pretty cozy relationship with the Historical Services but that may not be the case.
Has Chrysler Historical Society re-opened? They closed at the start of the pandemic last year, as I wrote them requesting the same info you are writing about and I received a letter back telling me that they were closed and not processing any IBM card searches.
 
This is the response I received from Danielle at Chrysler Historical Society:
Hello Dean,
Thank you for contacting the FCA Historical Archives. At this time, we are unable to do the research needed to answer your request, due to corporate guidelines, and have limited physical access to the archival records. We are able to answer requests where we can remotely access the materials.

While we cannot provide a timeframe as to when we will be able to assist you, I would expect that it will be towards the end of the year, but there is no target date at this time.

Thank you for your understanding on this matter. We look forward to being able to help our customers in the future.

She told me that a late June opening was being considered but there is no official date yet. Hopefully the outlook for an early opening is looking more promising.

Funny thing about my build sheet 67 GTX , found it tucked in the springs of passenger side bucket , who would have thunk it
 
All seats are out now and I’ve looked under the carpets w/o luck on a build sheet. Looks like I will just need to wait for the Chrysler Historical Services to re-open.

I know this is an older post, but wanted to tell you that I reached out to this same lady to see if they are back in ctc or if they are out still. I will update when I hear back.
