Brass tag .vs model year .vs serial number (1 Viewer)

y'all,

I purchased FJ45-24528 last summer. It's tagged as "T-67".
I just purchased FJ45-25453 from @greenbeast. It's tagged as "T-66".

I'm a bit confused how two vehicles with a frame number difference of 925 can be 'reversed' (the higher frame number is tagged "T-66"), but I guess the one tagged "T-67" sat on the lot a .. lot longer.

Anyway, the '66' is a lot more drivable. Should be on the road soon.

Copy paste from another of my posts in the 40 series registry thread:

“Early cruisers were very sketchy as the amounts being shipped and sold were not in line and many cruiser were sold as new sometimes years past their build date. This can be seen in the earlier cruisers listed here. Some 25's were even sold like 4 years after build .... they sold off what was on the shipping lots. I had conversations with a port worker and even he said that they sat for years... never seeming to move. So trucks built/shipped/sold is somewhat sketchy in earlier years.”

Note… 1967 round date tags were aluminum not brass.
