Is it BO and LO or is it B0 and L0….that is the question??

I’m kinda thinking along these lines.
The letter O was skipped being used on Fender tags and on VINs to reduce confusion. The number 0 was used in its place. Like shown in a previous post, O= Super Stock. I thinking because the letter O was not used on vins and fender tags they substituted the letter O with the number 0 BUT the number 0 is representing the letter O. What do you all think?

Let’s look at the facts that we know. Going through your notes and stuff we see that Chrysler was know to use what was already available as opposed to spending more money to make something new. A good example is the side marker lights that started in 1972 on must cars. The yellow ones were used all the way to 1993 on the D series pickups on the front fenders and the red ones used all the way to 1990 on the rear quarters of the Omni and Horizon platforms.

When I worked at the dealership from 1984 till 2004 and did training at both the Boston, New York and Orlando training centers the instructors at the time would talk about how Chrysler would give incentives to line workers and such who figured out how to use existing stock on new products.

Why not the same here, the number 0 for the letter O, looks the part and no money spent making a new stamp. This goes back to something I asked in an earlier post, does anyone know of or have a picture of a 1967 RO or WO VIN plate? Also SS cars and produced the year before. The 62 to 64 Max wedge and Hemi cars I don’t believe followed the same VIN process but I have a buddy in Florida with a 64 aluminum nose HC max wedge 4 speed car and I can ask him.
