[Black69SS]

I was checking more date codes, and I saw that there were stampings on the rim. So I checked mine and I came up with AO on 3 of them and YA on another one and one has no markings. My question is I know AO and YA are codes for 69ss, but is it common to be mixed on the same car? And the one with no marks must mean a repo I think. And do the other numbers tell the date?

Thanks,
Brad

Ao is for 70 cars, YA is for 69. I have some YAs I might be interested in trading for your AOs if they are the dates I need. Post a picture of the date codes on the rims.

And do the other numbers tell the date?

Yes, the first character (a Letter) is the Manufacturer: K = Kelsey Hayes (there were other manufacturers, but "K" is the most likely).
The second character (a number) is the manufacturer's plant (I've only seen a "1" on a rim).
The third character is the last digit of the year of assembly ("9" for 1969, etc.).
The fourth character (one or two numbers) is the month of assembly.
The fifth character (one or two numbers) is the day of the month of assembly.
The sixth and seventh (letters) are the use code for the wheel.
