Hey everyone.  I am restoring my 66 GT350H.  We are ready to paint and I am trying to figure out what the DSO would be for my car.  My car is 1449.  So what I want to know is the DSO number that should be on the front radiator support.  Thanks for your help

Wouldn't they all use the Los Angeles DSO?

Originally the DSO code would not have been written on the radiator support of 66 San Jose built Shelby's or any other Mustang IMHO. Of course have allot of pictures and documentation of this and other markings to document this.

Not sure where that came from

Also consider that the markings that your likely referring to were not really visible on the finished car but were applied to the bare metal then painted over only to decades later leach through and often rust the radiator support.  There are other markings that were applied over the black paint but that is a different purpose and discussion ;)

Most but not all were applied with a permanent crayon or lumber marker in yellow. There were normally other markings that were different colors and different types of applicators

Think he was asking for the order/special order group number rather than the DSO which would start with the DSO ;)

  I have seen DSO on the core support ( not on "every" car) but never the actual DSO numbers. Same for the axle housing. "KD" is almost always on the core support or cross member.

+1 those were over the black and normally IMHO "K"s and multiple "D"s or even multiple "K"s  just like 6 cylinders that would have one or more "6"s in the same location. standard V8's didn't receive the engine code call outs  just the "D"s
