I have been observing The L on Kansas built SS cars for about 3 years and was always right on. I had seen some cars that were said to be SS cars with no L but when checking the column joint they were always welded on not bolted like the SS had. I also checked out Baltimore cars and it didnt seem to always have the L. In my area there is 10 Kansas cars to every Baltimore car so I really do not have a opinion on that one. I was once told the L didnt stand for an SS it had something to do with something that was done special since a big block was going to be put in it.
