The SERIAL NO. section changed after 1963. Prior to that the part that ends in "L" was on the right and the part that ends in "A" was on the left.

One part of the SERIAL NO. contains 8 characters.

• Digits 6 and 7 should be 90.
• Digit 8 should be L.

One part of the SERIAL NO. contains 7 characters.

• Digits 1-6 should be numbers
• Digit 7 should be A.

TRIM should be two digits.

PAINT should be two or three digits.

AXLE RATIO should look like 4.00:1. The colon might be shown as a second period or a slash.

W.B. is the wheelbase, which is always 90 or 090.

ENGINE is two digits before the dash.

TRANS. is all of the digits after the dash. There might not be a dash.

MAX G.V.W.LB. is the maximum gross vehicle weight in pounds, or the maximum total weight of the vehicle, passengers, and cargo. This is always a 4-digit number (5- if there is a leading zero). This is blank for passenger vehicles.
