Sorry I missed your previous post before acquiring your coach, I do not view the net as frequently as I did in earlier years.

FYI, I have been a GMCMH owner for 30 years and have written a few articles on GMCMH history. I hope you will accept that as possibly knowing a few details about GMCs.

The "bold claim" I made about your invalid TZE166V902114 is quite easy to explain, in fact you are the one that provided the proof.

The side tag EMBOSSED with the number 902114 is a genuine GMCMH ORDER NUMBER and was never used as a valid TZE# (yes, I used the word "never".

The TZE numbers started each model year at, "V100000" & continued in numerical sequence to the last coach produced that model year, then reset to V100000 for the start of the next year.

The TZE tag on the front of the firewall is blatantly bogus as follows:

The tag identifies your coach as (166) a 26' coach 1976 model year. With all of the photos YOU show, I do not see a single feature that indicates a 1976, I pointed out a number of them in my previous post.

The GVW indicated on the TZE tag was proper for later 1973 & 1974s. The GVW was increased twice for later years.

All the information on the tag Federally requires it be embossed.

Also required are the special rivets, Phillips screws are incorrect.

Size/shape of your tag was used for 1973 & 74 only, later GMCs used a different shape/size.

It certainly is nice to have so many numbers to work with, unfortunately none of them match, that does matter you know :^(

I have assumed the T4Vxxxx number is probably an original, not sure of the last #, appears to me as T4V100324?
The other # appears to be T3V103036
Interesting as we have a pretty early 1974 (324)vs a very late 1973 (3036).

Sorry Emery, this tag is bogus for the reasons stated above. In fact with all the red flags including a restamped frame, I have never before seen such a collection of misinformation on one coach.
