I'm thinking that it might be 03G21868. Looking at the sticky it shows only three digits then a letter. Unlike earlier vehicles that had 4 then the letter. Just trying to get a definitive answer before I stencil the wrong number in her

Here is a picture of my truck, also a 1968 truck, 03J27168, taken in July 1970. I suspect that you have the right number. Does the data plate show a 1968 truck?
BTW, welcome to the M715 site. Please don't hesitate to ask questions.
It was built in 68. I'm going with the G because of what the sticky says.
Thanks. Was a member years ago when I first got her. Then life took over and she sat for 18 years in the back of the garage. Moved her 4 times but never could part with her. Got a bug up my ass(girlfriend) and the last 3 months have been a ton of work.
She has to be done for a show June 1st. Talk about deadlines
The hood numbers I'm trying to decipher and progress as of last night
Even if you get the number off by a digit or whatever, you will still have an authentic looking truck. I will put my Germany number on the truck. Don't care that it is inaccurate.
Looking at your pics I would say that it was most likely 03G. The only other possibility would be 03C, everything else will have a different shape and they did not seam to get very high in the alphabet before production stopped. The month that it was built will give you the most definite answer as to which one it is. A truck built in Feb-March will most likely be a 03C and a truck built later in the year, say around Sept. on would be 03G. Good luck, and if you need any help with markings, let me know. http://www.deltateamdecals.com

I'm going to have to get stencils from you but the paint is still too fresh. Weather is not cooperating!
Anyways, here is some of tonight work. It's a 4.0 with an ax-15, nwf doubler, and a Dana 300 with 4:1 gears. Was going stock until the motor developed a nasty rod knock. Had to change direction and I had the drive train laying here so In it went. As you can see I have a ton to finish by Friday AM. It will be done enough for the event is going to.
If you go with a decal set, it can be added right away and you don't have to wait for the paint to fully cure before applying them. I've put decals on the next day after paint before without and problems. Plus decals are actually the proper marking for our era of vehicles. The Army started using them in 1962 and used decals up until the subdued camo patterns of the mid 70's.
