Question Additional VIN Marking Locations

My 2004 Excursion has a re-built title. The placard in the lower left corner of my windshield had a 'new' VIN assigned and installed when it was rebuilt and the door jamb VIN was removed. I am interested in finding the original VIN assigned to this vehicle. I have done some searching and the only other two suggested places to look are a partial VIN on the header panel or 'stamped' on the upper portion of the frame rail near the passenger side door. I have not had luck finding these, or remnants thereof.

I would greatly appreciate any clues on where to look (or re-look if I did it wrong) to find any alternate VIN locations. I'm pretty sure there should be something somewhere to inspect for. Feel free to send a private message if needed.

Thanks!

I suppose reverse researching the newly assigned VIN did not provide any info about the original one?

No. It just led me to the source of the new VIN placard.

some PCMs have the OEM VIN coded into them.
think GM for one, they do.

Use ForScan and look every where you can, to see if the VIN is encoded?

PCM was re-programmed to the new VIN.
