M35 Frame Numbers

[fkowalski1942]

Hello,
My M35 has this numbers on frame, near front axle: 68 86L A 4 17
With this number i verify what the year of fabrication or the exact model(M35a1/M35a2 etc)
In the titles the year is 1952, but the ex-owner told me this truck is 1968... which is correct?
Who made this truck? Kaiser? Reo? Studebaker?

Thanks for the help

If those #'s were to the rear of the axle those are the frame half part numbers. The SN is in the front of the axle in one line.

Carnac can help. He identified mine as a REO, they had the original contract in the early 50's
