Engine number indicates a September engine. I could not find a date stamp on the firewall. The body tag is M601-4578. Can someone tell me when the Body was built? Thanks, Rick.

If there is no stamp on the tank you may be out of luck. Or there may be one on the floor board by the pass door. It could have sat for weeks before being mater to a frame. That is assuming you have the original engine or frame.

Mike Thanks, i will keep looking on firewall. I thought the Body number might help. Rick.

Rick, when we restored our basket case '29 Murray TS, no stamp on the firewall, no stamp on the frame rails. As Mike stated you may be out of luck.
