Is it possible for a 1970 CW transmission to have no partial vin number?

I have seen the partial VIN in 2 locations;

1..on the top side of the pan frame rail, driver's side above shift lever.

2..on the passenger side of the bell housing near the top

most have been in the frame rail location....you will need to have tranny out of the car or have a good mirror/lite to see either location.

**this tranny was only available in the L78 Nova/Chevelle and the LT1 Deuce and Z28. There is typically a pink CW ink stamp on the trans. case.

I looked all over and did not find a vin stamped anywhere. Here's the tag for reference. I'll be listing it for sale soon I guess.

Given the date code of '478'...this was a unit built in April of 1970. Most likely an L78 Nova application...but, could be from a Z28...Deuce would be a long shot. Not sure if they had CW trannys available over the counter...but, if so there would still be an assembly stamp someplace..

do you have the 6 lug converter...??

Here are some images of partial VIN by pan rail...

I found the vin this morning when it wasn't so dark out. Its a 1970 Camaro transmission. There is no converter. Vin was stamped right on the bell housing flange edge, near where the oil filter mounts.

Norwood or Van Nuys?

Just picked up a 1969 L-71(LX code) still bolted to the matching CY(th400) and 6 bolt converter.
