Hood Numbers Stamped On Wylie Rebuilds
« on: February 17, 2014, 06:55:05 PM »
If you have an E.W. Wylie rebuilt track and are needing your hood number, look on the top of the front bumper in the center section.  It seems they stamped ORD# and Hood# in this location.  The ORD# matched my frame and data tag, but I did not have the hood number, but now I do.  Seems each rebuild company had a different system of placement to stamp these numbers to track them during rebuild.  Sent the info to G503 database and this info confirms the key number for these tracks, and it seems we have another location to look for numbers.  Photos attached.

 Great photos Ron. I have not seen a bumper with the ord number as well as the hood number. Now I have to go look at my Autocar. It has the hood number on the right but maybe I missed the ord number.
