good morning.
trying to determine birth of my t5 87678. my coa/kardex search indicates ...
87593 is 2/18/60, and
87779 is 3/31/60
so ... 87678 is either late feb 60 or early mar 60.
bottom line ... looking for correct wheels.
tia, jeff.

You have about a 90 day window when matching wheels.

Adam is right, maybe even more. The factory did not care about such dates, so anomalies always exist.
Adam just supplied correct dated wheels for a '57 Cab we just sold. Fair price, and great service. Thanks Adam.

Re: for those w/ kardex access
I expect that your car was invoiced about March 10 based on other cars. Kardex/COA dates are mostly invoice dates which can be weeks later than actual completion date. Your Kardex can be obtained.

Re: for those w/ kardex access
Same holds true for carbs, coil, distributor, etc. These are usually dated 2-3 months or more before the cars build date. Not necessarily a window though since parts would have necessarily been built several weeks before the car.

Another date for you
87 685 - 11/3/60
Note this is the `actual` completion date
The date that this car received fuel and rolled off the line under its own power
