Where on the passenger side frame did you find them? I've been looking and can't find any, maybe they were ground off for some reason.

Around the door area on the frame, there are two holes in the frame and the numbers were up high, hard to read, took a piece of paper and a color crayon and marked the stamp area on paper.

Your truck is either a 78 or 79.

The numbers are a factory ID of the frame & the things going on it.

Nothing special.
