At times the relationship between Fisher and Chevrolet was openly Hostile and crossing between the two sides by personnel from either side was a negotiated business agreement.
PTB Stamps were part of the Fisher Body audit process to combat claims of damage to the coach after receipt by the chassis side at Chevrolet.
Damage claims by Chevrolet were cost reimbursable through GM and hurt Fisher Body's Profit margins.
