Its funny that I found this thread. My 64 has a bunch of stuff written under the hood. I normally take a can of gunk and would have cleaned under the hood by now. The only reason I have not is because I didn't want to ruin the markings. I will have to decode my Vin...

The pic on the left in post 44 is from a 1961 truck that I parted out. Was a St. Louis truck, short bed fleet and was a 6cyl /3 speed truck if it helps any.

And the pic on the right from that post is from a 1965 C10 that I'm currently building. It is a St. Louis truck as well. The marking shown is C1434, which is the model (1/2-ton shortbed fleetside).

When I brought it I was looking for a truck my birth year.
If I read this correct I got within the same month. (3-1960)

The signatures are just graffiti.

The scribed numbers are probably supplier date code or an inventory count on the detail part.
