There is NO vin on the engine.

And the door is just a sticker.

There is a Partial vin on the passenger frame rail as well, but the like I said, the vin follows the cab

 

On a 1990 cab I did find a "dog tag" on the driver's side nearby the brake booster, was held in place with just a metal screw. On that same frame I found two vin numbers on the pass side frame rail. One was under the AC box and the other was just under the cab end next to the bed/cab parting.

Just do not mess up the VIN tag rivets, remount it and throw about twenty years of crud on top of it!

 

I've seen metal VIN plates on the door. And my old truck had one riveted to the block. When the engine was rebuilt we replaced the block, and the mechanic pried it off and handed it to me. I think it's still in the glove box.

 

Bull hockey.

Ford has not used rivet on vin tags in the doors since 79

Also, BS on the vin tag on the block. NEVER HAPPENED. There is a SERIES number though that is stamped or cast into the block to give an approximate date it was made

 

Well then, you're in luck! my old truck is a 1978.

 

In case you didn't notice... We are in a 87-96 forum

 

And I'd wandered in cuz I also have a 1991 F350 dually that's the other love of my life, but hadn't got round to braggin' on it yet.

And again ford NEVER put Vin numbers on the engine, EVER

 

I want to say back in the 40's the truck numbers matched frame cab engine and trans.

 

I would like to see that.

 

lol Ill snap some pictures for you. Oh wait it doesn't have the original motor So that's a no go.

 

I googled it and the closest thing to a vin on the engine is on the frame and the body. Nothing about it on the engine

 

Just to be clear, you should NOT grind the backside of the rivets on the underside of the dash off being careful to make the top side of the VIN plate remain untouched. And you should NOT JB Weld your original VIN in place of the new cabs VIN. That would be illegal and it would also look like it never happened.

 

Or using black rivets to replace the originals. LOL

 

Yes and buddies to help...
