vin on radiator support

[common 27]

Is it possible to tell what car a radiator support came from by the numbers on it? The one on mine is different then the vin of the car and was just wondering.  Thanks

I can get close occasionally, what is the number?

  This is on a b-body if that makes any difference but it is G8 RI 30955

1968 car? If so, the number on the radiator support is the vehicle order number, not the VIN number. Compare that number to your fender tag.

Yes it is a 68,It has no fender tag or build sheet. I thought that number on the support matched the vin. Is there also a vin some where on it?

[Alaskan_TA]

Nope, no VIN on 1968 bodies.

I emailed a pal about the numbers since 1968 is not a year I know much about. He decoded the numbers for you;

" G8 RI 30955

Coronet and Belvedere models were built there all year. Chargers were added about April from what I can tell.

G= STL

8=model year

R= Belvedere line (X would be Charger and W would be Coronet)

I30955 = SO number 130955 "
