Is this much of a spread between the casting date and build date normal on BE's? I also thought that the first casting character was a letter then two characters for the day of month then single year character. Seems to me this is either a C=march or G=july casting in '68.

That has to be a c-cast date. You can't have a cast date after the axle code date. Roger

Both C or G of '68 would be previous to 04 of '69.

Yes it looks more like a ( C or G 218 )casting Thanks for all the help. Wish i could find the car it came from.

Seems like the casting date could perhaps be an error? Seems like it should be C219 which would be Mar. 21, 1969 and would make sense with an April 26, 1969 assembly date.
