Dan,
The other place that you can find the serial number on the original sheet
metal is on the right hand side floorbar, a couple inches in front of the
frame crossmember. If you lift your carpet, you will see a couple inch
rectangle cut out of the floor insulating material. If your floorboard is
not rusted out or replaced, it's there. It's usually easier to read that
the one on the shock mount to to heavy paint and road grime. I don't know
when his started, but my '68 and '75 both have this number stamped in the
floorboard.
