rusty frame help

The inspector is coming out this week to inspect my truck. I have the plate on the inside of my glovebox. But I can only see partials on the vin stamped on my frame. I tried a wire brush. And I tried some kroil oil. And a wirebrush some more. Does anybody have any tips to help me with this

a camera with flash will bring a lot of hidden numbers...take lots of pic in different angles and from close to far away till you figure it out

sometimes the numbers are stamped pretty light. be careful wire brushing or you might get rid of the numbers. Sometimes you can rub chalk in the numbers and help you read them.
