hi all, do the frame numbers on all TZEs match those of the side plate and the plate under the hood?

@ emerystora
this photo shows the numbers I find "below the large passenger side window behind the driver's seat"

@ bdub
these two new photos show the numbers "below the kitchen window"

I have scrubbed a little more of the rust away for these photos;
first without camera flash:

with flash:

you can now see that those marks I thought looked like "chicken scratch" are actually Xs! so the upsdie down number has been x'd out..

these appear to me to have been done prior to a body/coach being mounted and by a right handed hammerer. thats why one section of the X is stamped deeper.


Im not sure why they would X out that number unless it was somehow wrong. either by a mis-stamp or whatever.

so my main question is do the frame numbers match the V.I.N. plate and outside plate to lower left of the door?

I would really like to have a photo of another coach that has a similar V.I.N. plate as this one (plastic held in with screws) as emorystora mentioned he has seen before.

is there any verifiable GMC documentation on V.I.N.s?

would there be a federal code from '73-'75 that specifies exactly how motorhome V.I.N.s shall be made and attached?

Im starting to think its just a case of factory oddities more than anything else unless some official documentation shows otherwise.
