Default Re: COPO Chevelle trim tag data

I will check the extra digit out tonight. You can tell my eyesight isn't what it once was!.

In reply to your other question, my understanding is that the body number was used by Fisher Body and Chevrolet to keep track of the order from the beginning to the end. The last 6 digits of the VIN being scheduled for a car was totally dependant on the schedule for assembly at the Chevrolet plant.
Body numbers and VIN's are not necessarily sequential in order. A body could have been sent back for paint touch up and been issued a VIN hundreds off from one that it was in line with that morning.
