727 Trans DECODE

[RR383]

Fellows I'm trying to decipher a timeline/date when this trans was built, etc.

The following is what I could gather from a stamping on the passenger side bell housing.

Stamping: 0B208008

Can you tell me something about it from this?:huh:

Looks like the last part of a VIN. If so the
0=1970
B=Hamtramck
the last 6 digits of the VIN

[ArmyInspector]

transmission ID numbers are stamped into the left hand side of the case flange next to the oil pan, should look like this PK 2801543K 2337 0938

 

[ArmyInspector]

the other number will vehicle and date of manufacture

 

[RR383]

the other number will vehicle and date of manufacture

Did the 727's have a VIN match?

And what do these series of letters and #'s tell us?

 

[ArmyInspector]

yes, the first number you gave us should match the last 6 of your vin, if it doesn't then at some point the tranny was changed out. The last 6 are just the series number.

Thanks very helpful!!!

Hey btw, what year was this trans built???????

 

[ArmyInspector]

you never provided the other transmission number see above, or look at the tail section, should have a date could be on either side

PK = kokomo plant
2801543 = 1967 Polara, Monaco, Newport, Polica Package w/ 383, 1968 Belvedere, Coronet, Charger, Fury, Monaco, Polara and Newport with 383 2bbl
2337 = build date, December 21, 1967, number is based off of Chrysler's 10,000-Day Calendar
0938 = daily sequential number

Correct me if I am wrong but Hamtramck was a Dodge plant so your transmission is out of a 1970 Dodge
