I thought that thing was "stickied" at the top. The serial number is on the left front side of the frame, under the hood and in front of the steering gear box. You will have to scrape and or wire brush to see it. They were applied by drunken monkeys and are not always that legible or correct to the vehicle. It will be a star symbol some numbers and maybe a letter or two and then another star. If you have the original transmission, it is also on the top of the bellhousing and much easier to read.
