Assuming the first two numbers are 97 or 98, it's probably a '50. I seem to recall our 49-50 historians mentioning the changeover occured near the 300,000 mark. Do you have numbers stamped on your firewall? In that string should be a date code. See if you can find that. Post any numbers you find here.

Which both places are you talking about? Your vin should be stamped on the right side frame rail, on a tag riveted to the firewall, and on a tag located on the inside of the glove box door. The numbers I was referring to are actually stamped into the sheet metal of the upper center of the firewall itself, near the cowl seam, not on a tag.
