Vin location

I need help narrowing down the Vin location on my frame. I was told it is on the passenger side, tip of frame rail.

Can someone narrow down approximately where it is, I have to wire wheel down some paint to get at it and the Cab is on it.

From what I know it is an 1985 F-250

Thanks.

I have never seen one, but on here several times it has been described being located on the kick-up area in front of the pass side front cab mount, on top of the frame.

It's very faint, it's hand stamped at the factory.

I wish I know this when my cab was off and I cleaned the frame for painting as I would have looked a little closer for it.

I did not go crazy in cleaning the frame to bare metal just hit it with a hand wire brush, treat the rust and then painted it.
