For '68 back, the SO (sales order) number on the fender tag matches the body numbers.
The only way to match the SO to the dash VIN is with a broadcast sheet or some other paperwork like the invoice from Chrysler.

On a 68 the shipping order number is on the bottom right.
Thank you very much. That was driving me crazy.
I do have an other question. The numbers on the radiator support should match the fender tag. How many numbers should there be on the radiator support? I see a letter then a number followed by a letter then the correct 6 digits. Would that be correct?

1968 Barracuda from the Hamtramck plant.
So it is the first B is for Barracuda, 8 is for 1968 and the other B is for the Hamtramck? The 6 numbers were the Sales Order numbers?
No but they match the fender tag as they should. VIN is production sequence # not sales order #. The B8B do match the VIN breakdown.

Yes, the first B is for Barracuda, if it was a Dart it would be L.

Yes the body stampings were the sales order number up to '68. Changed to vin in '69 and later.
Haven't checked yet. Possible purchase for me and want to cover ALL bases as this will replace another project I'm getting ready to start. I'll have to sell the current project to keep Mama happy.

That is because it is a 67, it changed in 68 then in 69 again.
