For K400B-5 SN 27027, the estimated production date would be 7/22/68, plus or minus 2 months.
Kustom had just transitioned from the K200A to the K200B in June of 1968 - so K400B production probably started in June or July 1968.
I don't think there was a K400A model, so June/July 1968 could be the first production of the K400.

4 of my 5 cabinets are red - I play keyboards and my Motion Sound Leslie is mounted in a red K100 cabinet - this way I can use different cabinets and still match.
.1) Kustom 3x12 red + red K200B-5..I put in Eminence Basslites..Worlds Lightest 72.4 lbs (stock 98 lbs)
.2) 1973 Earth red 2x15 cab-tuck and roll like Plush..I have lightened the cab to 80.8 lbs-another World's Lightest (cab was 125 lbs).. It is particle board (the 1972 Earths were plywood)
.3)Kustom red 1967 no port tube 2x15 cab 85 lbs - I put in a new 4x10 baffle with 50w Jensens -now 71.5 lbs
.4)Kustom 2x12 blue cabinet no cntr brace + blue K100-1 - I put in two alum cone speakers- Future: putting in new 4x10 baffle with aluminum cone Hartke & Bugera's.
.5) Kustom red T&R KLA-40 1x10 40w combo ..put in Basslite ten and Future: adding 200w amp to rear so I can use it for small gigs.
