ST 68 13680 BAL06485 BODY
TR 773- BF C2 PAINT VIN:
1 ~ Chevrolet
36 ~ Malibu, Custom El Camino - 8 cyl
80 ~ 2-door sedan pickup
8 ~ model year
B ~ Baltimore assembly
230640 ~ vehicle build sequence number starting with #100001 ~ 130,640th Chevelle model off the line at Balt.

Body Number plate:
07C ~ July (7), 3rd week (C)
136057 220288 - Some internal plant tracking codes. Other model years, some of these numbers will appear on the build sheet for identification.
ST 68 ~ St(yle) 1968
13680 ~ same data as VIN
BAL ~ Baltimore
06485 ~ Fisher Body unit number
TR 773- ~ Dk. Blue Imitation Leather (bench)
BF ~ (Are you sure this is 'BF'?) Other Elky tags I have show 'B90' for Door Window Frame Molding which is common on Elkys.
C2 ~ lower/upper paint colors; C=Ermine White, 2=Black vinyl top.

If you have a photo of the body number plate and would like to contribute it to my ChevelleStuff site for future reference, it'd be appreciated - like these... (http://www.chevellestuff.com/68elky/68_elky_trim_tags-bf.htm)

Thank you for the decode Dale. I am 100% that it says BF and not B90, do you know what BF means? The Elky isn't anything special, it's a 307 Powerglide combo with P/S and thats about it. Was it common to see a white with black vinyl top and blue interior El Camino? I have not seen one before, I'll be turning this 68 into a driver (it needs everything redone) I will change the color combo to Lemans blue with a black vinyl top and a black interior.
