Hey guys i am picking up a 51 ford f1 from a local guy. it has been barn kept since 1968 when they had a carb problem they couldnt fix. well the problem with it is the man who owned back in the 60s has passed away. i tried to find the vin on the glove box but the first few digits are covered up by a bolt that has now been in there for 60 years and wont easily come out. i have read that it is stamped on the frame right infront of the motor mount. but can anyone be more specific or maybe even reply with a picture so i will know where to scrape the surface rust off to start looking for the vin so that i can try and get a clear title instead of a bonded title.

or maybe if anyone has a different way for me to get the title that would be wonderful too.

thanks guys and i am sorry if i broke any rules with this post.
