Date on firewall Just curious

When I sandblasted the inside of the cab, I uncovered this 'date'. I'm curious as to what it signifies.

looks like an expiration date "best before August 13th 2010" so you 've still got a few more years

Actually, I think it's 10-14-08, just another month!! You'd HATE to have it "go bad" on you, so just bring it on up to me, and I'll dispose of it properly for you!

Kidding aside, I found the same sort of date on my 51, just about the same place. Wonder if it was on the metal BEFORE stamping, or put on AFTER stamping, to keep the wrong ones from being used? Reckon we'll never know, but I was curious, too, then decided not to worry about it, and primered over it...

Yeah Roger, I was afraid that it might mean my "warranty" is about to run out. I was hoping Number Dummy might know...

Steve - I just noticed - you sandblasted the INSIDE of the cab - mine was on the outside of the firewall...
