Matching #'s question

[Salvatore]

I think the trans might be a rocker crusher because of the C. Does the trans. have a vehicle code? Maybe it was a factory replacement for your car under warranty. I think in 1970 the M22 went to fine a spline input shaft. (Not sure of date)What do you have? Sounds like a 1971 trans. case anyway. Depends on how perfect the car is. I don't think I would be over alarmed. Please fill out your bio! JMO Sam

Thanks for the quick reply. The only # I have is the P1k28C, which if I decoded correctly would be Muncie M22 rock crusher built July 28, 1971.

Sounds Good. How about a vin on it?

[Jim Mulvey]

Excuse my ignorance VIN for the car or tranny??

The VIN derivative will be stamped near the code you mentioned. It will be something similar to '9NXXXXXX' where the Xs are the last 6 digits of the car's VIN. If there isn't a VIN stamped on the trans case, who knows where the trans came from? It does appear to be a 1971 assembled M22.
One of the best reference books on the market is Jerry MacNeish's '1969 Z/28 and SS396 Fact Book'. Pick it up and read it (over and over in my case). You'll learn quite a lot about your car thru it.
check your trans case again for another set of stamped numbers and let us know what you find.

Thanks Dr. Dave, I will get the # back to you when I get a chance. BTW, ordered the book last week.
