74 Charger Broadcast sheet and Fender Tag

[74magnum]

Was looking to see if I could get help in further decoding my broadcast and fender tag. Already did a little but would like my work verified and the remaining decoded. Thanks.

Looks like you have done your homework pretty darn well. The numbers at the very top of the fender tag are Assembly Plant gate/line/sequence numbers & additional codes for your engine/trans/axle. Those I don't know off the top of my head - so I will check those tonight.

As for lines 2 through 6 on the broadcast sheet - again those are partial part numbers and color indicators for the part indicated. Those we all can work on one at a time.

If you have any questions about any particular code and what it means - just let us know.

Scott.

Maybe you should be charging $$ to decode others for them. Nicely done.

626 = Scheduled Production Date, not actual build date

Just skimming thru, the only unknowns you list are the Lynch Rd tag body-in-white numbers.
24110 = Gate Sequence Number = Gate #24; Base #10 (10th body through)
264310 = Line Sequence Number = (164,310th body through)

Last two I'm not positive, they seem to show up on 73-74, don't think its reiterating engine or axle assembly:
571 = maybe another factory off-line area?
288863 = maybe another sequential number for the plant?

look at his broadcast sheet  
571 = engine

288863 = axle (288) 3.21 sure-grip 9-1/4" w/10" brakes & transmission (863) 3681 863 = 727 for 360-4bbl

any pics of the car?

[6bblgt]

does the Charger still have its door sticker, can you post a pic

W87 = 14x6.0"  wheels - Chrysler didn't put any G70-14s on 5.5" wheels

[4mayhemi]

look at his broadcast sheet

Ta da! Now if I can only find my keyboard to type . . .

So 74magnum, is there a specific combo you're looking for #of built, or just in general black/red/white top/360?

[74magnum]

Lol. Well I can't say it's all correct... that's why I'm here checking with you guys. Thanks for breaking down the gate line sequence stuff.

626 = Scheduled Production Date, not actual build date

Then what's actual build date? Or is that not specified?

288863 = axle (288) 3.21 sure-grip 9-1/4" w/10" brakes & transmission (863) 3681 863 = 727 for 360-4bbl

Makes sense. Thanks.

Yes. I wanna work through it all in due time... I guess right now we're focusing on the tires/wheels.

does the Charger still have its door sticker, can you post a pic

W87 = 14x6.0"  wheels - Chrysler didn't put any G70-14s on 5.5" wheels

Yes. Pic to come.

So 74magnum, is there a specific combo you're looking for #of built, or just in general black/red/white top/360?

All of it I guess... or whatever is possible to decipher.

Door sticker

[6bblgt]

this door sticker - on the driver's door

[sdweatherman]

Lol - 6bblgt was looking for the other sticker - the one on the driver's door that has the VIN and date on it. Now all we need is someone with a 74 parts manual and we can work through those other lines quick.

[6bblgt]

& since you added this pic - it's your "TIRE LABEL"

[74magnum]

Lol - 6bblgt was looking for the other sticker

LMAO. My bad. What does the door sticker tell us?

[6bblgt]

 

626 = Scheduled Production Date, not actual build date

[sdweatherman]

As for production numbers, all I have for 1974 is the basics from the White book - number of cars shipped to US dealerships. These numbers don't count the cars shipped off to Canada and International destinations.

For a 1974 Charger Rallye with the 360-4bbl HP engine - 661 were shipped. Of those 94 came with the 4-speed, and 567 came with the Auto.

Just considering those numbers - you have a pretty desirable 74 Charger. A Rallye with the 360 HP is a great combo!

[sdweatherman]

Just remembered that you can go to the My Mopar website and download the 1974 Parts Catalog! All the part numbers can be found there.

That will keep you busy for a while!

I have it... what do you need? I'm not clear on the request

And with M07 opera windows makes it a rare Rallye! 74magnum and me were talking about latelly

Nacho - the 74 Parts catalog can be downloaded from the My Mopar website - so magnum74 can start looking up the part numbers that are listed on lines 3 thru 6 on his broadcast sheet.

[74magnum]

All I got so far... Red i cant find or no number listed which matches 2 or 3 digit number... Black is good as far as I know.

[sdweatherman]

This is the tough part on these sheets. I am learning right along with you. Looks like not all numbers are partial part numbers - some numbers just signify the type of part possibly.

For 355X97000 - broken down:

355 is type of column. I found 351 is B-body, Auto Trans, Column shift. Since your car has a center console,
355 likely means: B-body, Auto Trans, Console Shift.
X9 - Black in color.
700 is likely a column for just Power Steering. (708 is a column for PS and Speed Control)
0 probably means no additional column accessories. (5 means the column has an ignition light)

For the Steering Wheel - S86 is the standard wheel I think.

08X9: 08 is the Steering wheel Type. (09 is a three spoke padded wheel)
X9 is just Black again.

18X9: 18 is horn pad type, X9 Black.

Inlet hose - double check the numbers on your sheet - 3780662 should be it.

Fan Spacer - 3769616 - Fan spacer 7.25" dia Thermal

Battery - No hits for 66. (3755069 is Series 27/ 70 Amps / Red caps)

Nothing so far on the Vac fitting 11.

571 863 88 is just the engine/trans/axle assembly numbers.

Pin is the Speedometer Pinion Gear - 32 Teeth - possibly - 2538932

Wheels - TX9 - is Black again, Nothing yet on the 60 and 00.

[74magnum]

Looks like not all numbers are partial part numbers - some numbers just signify the type of part possibly.

Exactly. That's basically what I was told by Richard at MYMOPAR... He said that some number weren't part numbers but more so number indicators for the assembly workers to reference to know what part is called for to be installed... So maybe "inlet hose ... the 02" could be a bin or area to get the hose from.... but 02 might not be in the part number at all... who knows.

Thanks for the other numbers deciphered... I'll take a look more closely when I can.
