At Norwood The front end called the "dog house" by employees was built on a separate conveyor and then lowered through a hatch via crane shortly after body drop. That number will match the number on your firewall in 1967. That number is the final assembly sequence number or as known in plant that day as unit #508.

R-SS is as Steve said- which was a visual aid to insure the correct grill was selected during the doghouse build.

Phil - do you know how they handled it if they happened to get out of sequence?

That was the beauty of building pickup trucks: if something wasn't right you could just throw the offending parts in the box and keep on going. They would catch it out back in stationary repair. Pretty sure you couldn't do that with a Camaro (lol).

I followed my pickup down the line in Flint when it was being built. I didn't notice until 30 years later but it must have been "#87".

Very neat finding a sequence # on various parts.

Steve this is the location on the firewall of those numbers and what they looked like on my RS/SS. I also found that number on the back side of my original spare tire and rim.
