Is he looking for the VIN? That's stamped on the right front frame rail below the firewall if that's what he's after.

Top of pass side rail under the alternator, and there's another one farther back, which is covered by the cab.

VIN locations on a Bumpside frame but, the locations would also be the same on a Dentside.

This is mikeo0o0o0 plate as a reference. The red underlines part it his serial #.

I believe the Serial # is the "Consecutive unit #". So get it off your dvrs side door edge mounted Warranty Plate.

As Number Dummy has pointed out on numerous occasions, different parts were used during a manufacturing cycle. These are usually denoted as before/after a specific consecutive unit number (numerical sequence of assembly), the last six characters of the VIN. Details.
Thus, this is a good sign that your parts supplier is taking the appropriate precautions.

Yes I read that you have a 4wd, see where it says "just behind the front axle (4wd). VIN is here, SN is last part of VI, 2 letters and 4 digits.

The parts guy should be able to locate your requested part without the chassis serial #, I did.
