The A O S is correct for A O Smith.There was a plant here in Milwaukee and produced Chevrolet frames for many years.They have since changed to Tower Automotive and will soon be moving what is left of their factory out of Milwaukee. _________________________ Chevgene

Chipper Registered: 11/22/01 Posts: 9843 Loc: The Great State of TEXAS	Dave, You are correct. It should be AOS the A is apparently missing. The date of manufacture is 3-15-29. We have never found what the other numbers and letters mean. _________________________ How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
