This is the only one of these I've come across. I'm sure there's more out there but, for some reason, I haven't seen another. Not even sure if they still called them Certicards or not, or even if it was used nationwide. It's bare aluminum and I'm not sure what some of the codes and numbers represent. It's for a 1971 D100 with a 383 engine. I thought they had discontinued these type of cards before 1969. Anyone else have one and know more about them?

My buddy has one, it slides in a sleeve in his 66 Dart engine compartment. He told me it had to do with maintenance scheduling or something lime that.
 
Oh sure. I have lots of them for the '65-7 cars. This is the only one I've seen for a '71 model.
 
The S/O 00600 designation might be a shipping order number, but, that's just a guess. Seems like a pretty short number for that.
 
That’s not a certicard. It’s missing some information like paint code, interior code, scheduled build date. I see it’s It’s got a VIN, engine size, tire size, Possibly an axle weight rating?

Here is a real one for a 1966 A100 Van.

Certicard was to go on a unit like an old credit card machine that would run over the top of the paper imprint the info on to a work order at the dealership.
 
Very interesting. My 69 doesn’t have a Certicard. Have you seen any build sheets in pickups?
 
We (OK mom) bought a Belvidere in 1969 which we still had when I was old enough to drive. No certicard.
According to the MMC website, 1968 was the last year.

So I think we're all in agreement the metal in the '71 truck is something else. Could it be some sort of body tag?
