VIN location on '68 frame
I was told that there is a VIN stamped on the frame of a '68 pickup. Is this true?...where can I find it? I was told it is actually located in 2 places.
Thanks, Erik

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
Here it is, courtesy of Longhorn man
the other location where you want to look for the number is on top of the frame under the driver's side cab, some I've heard didn't have it there, oh nad BTW the number is not the whole VIN number that you'd find in your vin tag.

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
About midway between the driver side cab mounts on top of the frame.

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
Yep, where I am pointing, and basicly, under the drivers seat on the top of the frame rail (can't see it with the cab on naturally)
This is not a complete VIN though... there is no complete VIN anywhere but on the VIN plate and on the SPID label in the glove box. |

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
The trailer that I have at my dads house is a 68 short step that has the frame bent at the front cab mounts to form the tongue has the VIN stamped about 2 inches behind the front mount.

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
passenger side, located around the rear of the door... maybe cab corner area... That would be the frame part number IIRC.

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
If you use a small mirror, you can see the numbers on top of the frame with the cab on.

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
Thanks everyone!
I am trying to sell a SWB rolling chassis and a guy was telling me that he wanted the title and VIN plate from the cab. He said that he would have trouble to apply for lost title if he didn't have this documentation and that it would hurt the value of the truck. It seemed kind of shady to me. I am only selling the rolling chassis because I am building a custom frame for my truck and I do not need it anymore. I definitely wasn't going to give him any VIN plate off of a cab...that is for sure!

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
You did good by not giving him you VIN tag, IMO the tag should always stay with the cab, a rolling chassis is just that, a rolling chassis.
BTW, why the hell would he need a title for a chassis?

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
i didn't know about the one on the DS side top framerail until i took my cab off last night. it's a partial (last six?) of VIN just like the front framerail.

Re: VIN location on '68 frame
I think they just check to make sure it is not stolen. I'm going through this issue right now.
