This number tag is attached to the front seat body frame with rivets can anyone tell me what it is and if the numbers mean anything?
The numbers appear to be "515244400"

The body was made in May of 15. The rest is the body number.
There also appears to be dots stamped in after the 5 and 15.

I remember reading in a forum post a few years back that the metal body tags were Baudette bodies... The FIshers (and Ford) built bodies were stamped into the wood to the right of the floorboards. There were instructions when ordering body parts the dealers had to include body nimbers because of the differences between manufacturers...
