A friend's trim tag somehow was removed and "disappeared." Don't ask; I don't have a clue. He has no info that is on it whatsoever. I know you can get another but how so without any of the info?
Trim Tag
- Thread starter bfmgoalie
- Start date
If you don't have the original one or a picture or copy of it, you can never get a correct one made. Just drive the car without it. A reproduction with errors is far worse than no trim tag.
If he has a build sheet... Most (if not all) of the correct info can be found to recreate the tag.
It depends on the year and where ii was built.
I agree with Gary. No trim tag is better than one with errors.
It's far easier to explain a missing tag to a potential buyer than a tag which may represent the car as something its not.

No "Z28" on the tag so it's most likely a base model.

The data on that is vague. I believe I read somewhere that is the Fisher Body Time Date code.

That number is a sequential number used to identify each car on the assembly line. Norwood used a different sequence to these numbers than Van Nuys did. The Van Nuys numbers are easy to decode as they have the date included in them. Norwood didn't use the date, but rather "day of production" from start date each year. Unless you know the start date of production, and every day of production after that, it is almost impossible to decode the number. Any lost day of production during the year would skew any translation of these numbers now.
