Need help with Frame number

1953 f100 215 auto. I've looked in the two locations that previous threads have pointed out and do not see a number.. Any suggestions of where to look now or pictures of what they look like and the orientation on the frame or crossmember?


Passenger side frame rail below firewall.



Passenger side front crossmember



Driver's side crossmember.



Center of crossmembe under radiator.

Pass side front cross member. I think more under the fan shroud. They are a lot easier to find with the front end off

Thanks. I thought I had cleaned and looked over the entire top of the crossmember with no luck. I will pull the fan and shroud to have a better look.

Mine is located in the red box.

Some of them are stamped pretty light. Be careful or you could take some of it off.
