Data Processing Numbers
Found on Arlington, Atlanta, Baltimore, Van Nuys, and Kansas City trim tags. These
consist of either two 6-digit numbers (Atlanta & Van Nuys), single 5-digit
number ( Kansas City), single 4-digit number (Baltimore) or a 3-digit number (Arlington) and
represent several data processing numbers found on internal plant paperwork
to track the car during assembly. They have nothing to do with any options
and are only significant today if paperwork is found for the car and the
numbers match up to show that paperwork belongs to that car.
Atlanta & Van Nuys:
The first 6-digit number can be found in block #24 of the build sheet.
The second 6-digit number is actually a concatenation of a 2-digit number
and a 4-digit number. The first 2 digits are found in block #10 of the build
sheet (SCHED NO) and the last 4 digits can be found in block #24 of the
build sheet.
Arlington:
The 3-digit number is the last 3 digits of the 4-digit number found in block
#10 of the build sheet.
Baltimore:
This 4-digit number is found in block #24 of the build sheet.
(As a side note, the typical body number location on the trim tag after
the plant designation is actually the first 6-digit number in block #24
and not the body number found on build sheet.)
Kansas City:
This first 4 digits are found in block #24 of the build sheet.
The 5th digit of the 5-digit number is the work day number of the
production week.
