1965 Frame Pull Date

[Mark P.]

I am looking to add the frame pull date to my frame and here is the guidance I have:

TIMG - A pull date was applied to the right hand main rail toward the front as the frame entered production at St Louis. The stencil and pull date appears upside down.

Quanta Technical Bulletin that comes with their stenciling kit - The frame pull date is usually hand written in white or orange, upside down between the #1 and #2 body mounts on the passenger side.

Does this photo look like a good example to follow ?

Any known preferences or trends for white or orange pull dates among judged cars or bowtie cars ?

Typically how many days earlier would the frame pull date precede the cars birth date ?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: 1965 Frame Pull Date

Here's a couple pics. of the original pull dates on my 2 65's. The first one (4-8-65) was built 4-10 is in orange crayon, the second (4-30-65) was built 5-5 is in white crayon. Notice the difference in how they are formatted.
