Have you guys ever seen a car where the tank sticker is still in place, and during restoration, instead of removing the sticker, they replaced the whole tank with a repro tank, so that the sticker could stay affixed to the original tank? I have run across a car like this. I thought that was pretty neat.

Yes he does, and I would consider his opinion as "expert" same as for his engine pad and trim tag evaluations. I had him evaluate my tank sticker, that affirmation is now part of my car's documentation folder. And just FYI, I have asked several times at NCRS for an update on the return of the Document Validation Service and am now unofficially told "maybe never." The official response remains "check back soon" and "ask your regional representative."

there is a relationship of the handwritten production number on the tank sticker to the vin.
usually, the production number will be less than by a few digits or equal to the last three digits of the vin or the last three digits of the vin less 500 (the production increment).

Your 'two digit less' difference between the SEQUENCE number and VIN number, is not unusual... nothing to be concerned about.

Has anyone seen a tank sticker from 1967 that the color of the body and paint code are crossed off and hand written with a new code and color and dated and signed by I assume a assembly person?
Like maybe the wrong painted body married up with the chassis on the assembly line
