'70 Camaro sub frame factory markings help

[CamarosRus]

70+ Camaro Subframe dating has been discussed several times and recently at www.nastyz28.com in the ORIGINAL Forum. (Sorry, short on time to post direct link, Please search in Orig Forum). I repeat no conclusion was reached on plant location lettering code.

Below Picture shows month, day & year stamping. The N has never been confirmed as standing for Norwood as other Letters have been found for other frame mfg locations.

Stamping has nothing to do with VIN and nastyz28 conclusion is for numbers/mfg date only. We think the number after the letter is the day shift (1) or night shift (2).

I thought the same thing Chuck but now I am wondering. Joe are you looking for paint dabs? I thought you knew about the date codes already.

I am looking for the correct paint dabs; I understand the cods.

[JHS]

Chuck,

I could not locate the date code on my sub frame, looked everywhere but must have missed it. I can't reall tell from your picture excatly where your code is stamped??

The picture above shows drivers, outside at rear. You can easily see rear end of frame.

I have never seen, read or heard of paint dabs on a 70 Camaro frame.

Please educate me as to where and what this is all about ??

[JHS]

I did not know if the '70s sub frame had paint markings or not, that's why I was asking. Wondered if the steering gear box cover had a mark, cotter pins, etc. as some of the earlier GM caars.

I'd suggest redoing marks that you find. Looks better than adding restoration graffiti.
