| Post subject: | Body Code Plate Interpretation |
Recently I received a Chassis-Body Service Manual for my 1976 Volare (wagon). It only mentions i passing, the Body Code Plate. Where can I turn to in order to interpret the various codes on this plate? I'm not a "restoration-type" guy, but am more curious than anything else as to what each code on the plate means. Thank you |

For the plate codes, you'll be going in one of many places, here are a few ideas: 1) Mopar Decoding Websites (several to chose from...most cater to pre-1973 mopars) 2) Pay $10 to Galen for one of his books (still missing a few codes as he has no records of what they mean) 3) A few 'basic' trim/paint codes can be found in the books Titled "Catalog of American Car ID Numbers", but is still lacking most of the other codes (like A01-light package, A31-Feather Duster/Dart Lite...etc...) -D.Idiot |

Can you show us a good, clear, sharp, full-frame photo of the fender tag(s), or an accurate transcription? |

Thanks for comments to date. Either through my own inabilities or the quality of my digital camera, I was unable to get a clear, glare-free picture of the Body Code Plate. Below, however, is a line-by-line transcription: N37 R11 L2 03 437 J25 K5L L31 M15 M21 M91 HL4 U 1 B41 G11 G52 H51 HL4 B2L3 000 604 S01004 E24 D31 HL45 C6B 373470 From the explanation in the Electrical Service Manual I learned the following about the last row of letters/numbers: E24 = Engine Code (In my case 225 cu in) D31 = Transmission Code (In my case 904) The remaining 13 letters and numbers on the last line are the VIN number for my vehicle and I know what they mean. Thank you for your anticipated help. |
