A short lesson in date coding:
Chrysler, like other manufacturers then and I believe
still today, used a very simple date coding system.
A = January production
B = February
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
I is not used because of potential visible confusion with
1 (one)
J = September
K = October
L = November
M = December
In almost all cases of parts, like radiators, that
received date codes (engines, axles, radios, glass, etc) the production of the
part took place within approx. 45 days prior to the assembly line
production date of the car.
Thus, for example, a car assembled March 12th of '57
may have individual components carrying date codes back as much as 45 day
earlier so could show date codes of A or B or C.
Hope that helps.
