On early 4 speeds looking to found out build date. Their is a riveted looking pad on the case with 7x22x63. The tail stock has a riveted pad too with 4-23. Would these be the dates?

Yes! The case was casted July 22nd, 1963 for 64 cars. Tail stock is casted April 23, 63 or 64. If 63 it can be an early one or if the tail stock was used on 63s as well. Or it might have been changed for a 64 casted one!
 
Great. Ptretty sure its the original tail stock. The car was parked for about 25 uears before I bought it. Anyone know when production began in 63?
 
Usually August 1st. That means that suppliers to Chrysler started up to 4 month prior to new production run.
