What does this tag under my seat say?

[johnnycharger]

Is there anyway to know if this seat is original to my car?

[Lennard]

I could be wrong but 2-23-70 looks like a date to me.

That's what it made me think to. I think it is interesting that the seats that came in the car when I got it has these metal tags under them and the 2 other seats I have purchased used have paper tags.

The 7 digit number is the part number for the seat frame itself.

Steel & thin cardboard tags were both used.

   probably code meaning "do not remove this tag", kinda like the ones on mattresses, etc.   

[Alaskan_TA]

No mattress, but at least one bedding company was a vendor for Chrysler seat parts. (found in a 1970 Challenger T/A)

Cool! Thanks. I would assume that tags were different depending on the plant then. That is interesting about the bedding company. Never would have guessed.  Do you know if there is anyway to determine if these seats were original to my car? I am trying to decide if I should hoard them on a shelf or sell them off....

[Alaskan_TA]

Not a plant thing, but most items did have more than one vendor for parts.

If you found an original broadcast sheet in the seat that matched your car - then yes, the seat frame is for your car.

Other than that there is now way to know for sure.

Yeah, they did not fabricate these things specifically for particular cars. The components would be made up in large quantities by one factory, part numbered for identification, sent to the plant, stocked, and picked from as needed.

[johnnycharger]

Thank you you guys! I really appreciate the information.

Johnnycharger, what Is your Chargers build date, around March 1970?
Which seat is the tag from?
Your avatar looks like it has an 'SE' on the sail panel.
Edit: Yep I went back in your messages and found this out.

[johnnycharger]

I don't recall the build date. I will have to look for it. It is an SE and the tag is from under one of the front bucket seats.

[Alaskan_TA]

There is no way to know the actual build date.

The exception would be a late 1972 & up car with the MDH information on the door sticker.

[johnnycharger]

Oh ok. I thought it maybe on my broadcast sheet.... Been a while since I have seen it...

I'll agree with the "no way to know the actual build date" but could it be said maybe within thirty days after the date information on the Production Broadcast sheet, Fender Tag and the door sticker, the car had a good chance to cross the end of the assembly line?  

[Alaskan_TA]

Broadcast sheets have been found in the same car for different cars with a VIN spread of over 30,000 & with their SPDs close to a month before or after each other.

But the job numbers & times on the sheets are VERY close.

There are lots of cars out there with the Mylar door stickers showing a month prior than the SPD and a month after the SPD also.
