Looks to me like it was written backwards while in the normal orientation.

If that was written by a Quality Inspector my take would not be anything good.

Inspection guy was saying to use that frame for assembly only as a last resort--if there were no other frames to be found. Must have been right at the pass/fail rejection point. :LOL:
Pretty much this.

Dude that's cool! Mine said GLMF, just kidding lol.

Put some clear tape over it to preserve it and leave it! Gotta add $10K to Mecum or Barrett-Jackson. I can hear the commentators now "up next on the block we have a 1 of 1 special edition Papa Rach autographed at the assembly line"...lol.

Actually, the answer is probably much simpler than the previous replies:

Assembly person was listening to The Eagles while working. :)

The person who wrote it was probably a prepper who was telling you that when the sh*t hits the fan, your bronco will be your last resort to get out of Dodge.

Been years since I was loaned out to the frame line but, I know the frames come assembled and put on the line upside down and parts go on and then at the end of the line it flips and goes on another line for more parts like the engine and such. But that was 25 years ago on the trucks at KTP. Not sure if shit has changed since then and broncos might be different.

I thought I remembered that they said that at the Rouge factory tour: that the frames start out upside down and get flipped after some early assembly.
