I have a Q2 build so I should be close to 1969/1970. That would be cool but not as cool as 1 or 302.

True and at the rate cars are being built and my Q1 VIN not being issued yet, I might be close 0690. However, I don't think we can go wrong with any number!

Agreed. If my number was the very last one built...I think I would "suffer" through it

I am reviving this thread because I would like to get additional info from those who have it. I would like to start tracking the commit numbers to put the cars into actual build sequence.

I have found the commit number on three places since I took delivery of my car. Everyone should still have access to one of these:

Driver's side rear quarter window: The large 4 digit number in the center of the sticker.
Driver's seat protective bag: A separate sticker with a 4 digit number, the VIN, the words: 'Commit #:', and a date and time stamp.
The passenger side differential tube: The number appears in a grey box at the upper right corner of the label.
See the pics below for examples.

If you can get the commit number, please post it along with your Boss/LS # in the Vehicle number thread.

Thanks!

Chris, is this the same as the blend (or sequence) number? If not what is the blend number used for?

It is not the same number. There is a bit of an explanation at the top of this thread. 1FAFP90 knows how it works. He's explained it somewhere, I'm still trying to find that post.
EDIT: here you go.

The gaps in the Mustang commit numbers are the Mazdas being built along with the Mustangs.

To confuse things even further, the body shop, paint shop and trim line all have their own commit numbers.

Commit numbers can be assigned as close as a couple of hours prior to production.

Commit numbers are four digits so once they reach their highest value, it starts over at the lowest number.

This commit number does not appear on the Window Sticker, but you will see it on labels attached to various components of the car.
Basically, the Blend number 'should' be the order, but isn't because the factory needs to make last-minute scheduling decisions. Presumably if a supplier's truck gets a flat or a butterfly flaps its wings and the parts don't show up, or if the plant manager gets a call "we need this car, now!" kind of a thing.

The VIN's aren't assigned to the bodies until after the paint shop, so it's possible to insert or delete a build up until that time. This is where the Commit # comes in.

Well, I don't seem to have any of these. The quarter window sticker is gone due to the tinted windows and the dealership threw away the seat protective bag.
I crawled under the car to look at the axle and I don't have the sticker with the commit number on it. I have the sticker that goes completely around the axle but not the other one.

3405 maybe. #0030.

I found a shot the day I picked up the car but the number is reverse. Tough to see.

Not sure if these dates from the window sticker have anything to do with build date.
