It is on the upper passenger frame rail, about in line with the front of the engine.
It is often very faint, and usually needs a good wire brushing to reveal it.
You can use a wire wheel, but don't use a grinder.
It will start and end with a star-like character.

Another place to look is on the top of the engine cross member, below the harmonic balancer.
I wasn't looking for it, but there is was when I pulled the 352 from my purchased new '65 F100 in 1981. Truck was assembled January 1965 in San Jose CA
