I may be wrong, but i thought i have seen a couple of numbers on the drivers side frame rail about 12 inches to the right of the shock?
anyway, would these locations be the same on a 68? my truck is totally stock and original so i can check this out, but i would like to know where to start looking.

NOTE: Ford stamped the frame part number prefix & suffix on the frames from 1957 thru 1972. These numbers are stamped either on the right or left outside frame rail in front of the crossmember. The part number prefix/suffix may be upside down. Sample: C5TA-AA
If the truck was built in San Jose, CA. (5th digit in VIN is: R) The VIN may be stamped on the crossmember, directly below the vibration damper. It's there on my San Jose built 1965 F100.
