You see this tag on the cowl when you open the hood of my '56 3100. The number on it is 264. Thanks, Ed :confused: | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | You made me look. My '56 doesn't have one. Yours looks spotwelded.

I thought it might be a paint #, too, but it doesn't match any of the codes that are listed for '56.

Bill That it is. Thanks for all the input! I'll just leave it at that, a mystery.  | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 714 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 714 | Hi Ed, I am pleased and sad! I thought I had a unique truck based on a small tag on the front cowl!  I thought I would get rich based on that tag! There has to be someone out there that knows what the tag means...mine says 832. I hope to find out someday. Thanks!

I have "Blu 36" that was drawen in with something like a paint marker under the blue paint.
And where by the way did you hear that it was the number of vehicles produced that day??
