Number on wheel

This was spotted on one wheel & the trans crossmember of a 69 coupe. What do they mean? Thank you, Joe

Possibly the final assembly sequence number. Cars were not built in VIN order. Our '67 Z/28 had 258 written in black marker on the inside of the lower grille panel. An easy way to ensure the sub frame was assembled to the proper body.
Learning more and more about less and less...

Sequence # or rotation #.
I believe Fisher used a different # than Chevrolet.
