VIN # location??

I know that the VIN# on the 48-51 is located on the pass side top of the frame just in front of the shock mount. But where is the VIN# on 53-54 located. Thanks RUSTY

If you have an Operators Manual (available on e-bay for $6) it will tell you on the first couple pages. Ford Truck Chassis Parts Catalogue for that year will also tell you.

Back when I was looking for my vin number on the chassis I had a list of a lot of locations where they had been found at. Even with a bare chassis it can be hard to find. While I was wire brushing the rust off I came across my on the crossmember behind the radiator on the rightside. With the old paint and rust they can be hard to see and find.By the the way my is a 56

The numbers get stamped anywhere on the right front rail, from the front cab mount, all the way up to the radiator/engine crossmember, and are even on the engine crossmember itself sometimes. You'll likely need a good wire brush, and look close, because sometimes they are so poorly stamped, that you can barely even see them, or rust has erased them.

Thanks for all the help I found it on the cross member under the radiator on the right side. *F10D3K23865* RUSTY
