Ford Serial Numbers

What year did Ford first start stamping the vin number on the frames?

Here's my dilema...I have a 1960 ford 4X4, with no title and no id plate. I have been using the plates off of my other Ford Truck, what are my options to get this truck registered?

I know this question's been asked a million times, but what kind of options do I have for a modern motor and tranny swap out?

Thanks guys,
Sam

I believe your ID plate should be on the glove box door

I'm Sorry the truck is a 64, and I've checked the glove box door, and the door jams, and the fire wall.

I've also looked all up and down the passenger side frame rail. And have found nothing.

Am I screwed?

Sam The number is on the top of the passenger side frame rail, about where the axle passes under to slightly forward. It is there, you will have find it.
