It is there.
You have to look on the passenger frame rail, about where the alternator is.
Use a wire brush to clean it up to bare steel - do NOT use a grinder! The inner fender often drapes over it, so you need to push it out of the way.
It is there, but can be very hard to see as it isn't stamped very deeply.
