Need HELP!!!!!
I have a 1953 and 1954 f100's.
Both do not have vin tags, and I do not have titles.
Is there a place on the frame that I can get a number or does any one know where I can get titles for these?
I hate to make them organ donors they are super clean with no rust in the cab and other places.
Need Help!!!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
The VIN will definitely be stamped somewhere on the frame - it's just a matter of finding where and being able to read it through any rust, grease, and dirt.
I used to think they were always stamped in the same place for each year, but unfortunately, folks have found the VIN in enough different places that it's tough to provide an exact location where you can be sure to find it. It will be either on the top of the frame rail between the front of the cab and the radiator, or, less likely, on a crossmember, as Ron mentioned. Some folks have found it on the passenger side rail, and some on the driver side. The most likely place seems to be on top of one of the frame rails between the cab and front axle.
A little degreaser and a stiff wire brush makes it easier to find and read if you can get at the frame rails. It's also easier to read if you can get the light at the right angle - a flashlight at a low angle across the surface usually works best. Good luck in your hunt!
