1969 Stamp Pad

Re: 1969 Stamp Pad

Happened to notice the OP's transmission was stamped twice with the VIN derivative. Placement is also different than mine. The next to the last digit on my VIN derivative is slightly raised on both. See attached photos.

I am sure blocks can be skillfully decked and restamped. The stamp on the transmission case...I guess one would have to find a blank casting (are there any?) and stamp it with both the correct date and VIN derivative. That is not a machined surface.

SERVICE cases have no VIN derivative or transmission production code, although they often have other stampings.

SERVICE transmissions have no VIN derivative, but usually have a transmission production code stamping.

Joe,

Are you saying the transmission posted here is incorrect?

Re: 1969 Stamp Pad

Did they stamp all blocks CE if they were replacement? And what did they do with replacement trans cases? No CE stamped in them? I sae a 69 that had been in the same family since new and had no VIN# at all. They swear the engine had never been out! Tom Stanton #41491

Not at all. I think it's likely correct and original. Someone had asked if there were any unstamped cases out there and I was just describing what sort of cases would be unstamped and, thus, possible candidates for later stamping.
