Default 68 Vert - Code on Hinge Pillar Post?

Hey - First post! Just got a 68 vert this summer and am starting to get to know her. I noticed there is a number stamped vertically on the hinge pillar post (correct term?) below the trim plate. Numbers are large, about and inch tall, on the drivers side it's 48026 and passenger side is 48034.

Any ideas on what they mean? Sorry of it's a newbie question, tried a search but couldn't find anything. Can post pics tomorrow if I've confused everyone!

Great forum, looking forward to tapping into everyone's knowledge and passing some along as I get deeper into this.

Brian

I think you're looking at the mold and/or part numbers of the fiberglass. Mine has similar numbers, and that's what I have always assumed them to be.
