They are on top of the passenger frame rail under the cab. Really tough to see if the cab is mounted.

Both of them. Is there any other secret spots.

On my '83, the last half of the vin is stamped on the flange around the hole in the firewall for the blower motor/heater core. You'll need to remove the cover to see it.

and under the bed, on the pass frame rail, just behind the cab.

The 73-74's also had it on the driver frame rail, by the steering box... Maybe 75?

I have never seen one there... Can explain farther? Pic?

Cool thanks guys. Any more locations by any chance. I'm doing cab swap and just don't want to be hassled by the man if I get pulled over.

I also was not aware of a hidden VIN on the cab anywhere. We did stamp a three digit cab shop build sequence number on the upper radius of the cowl panel but I was not aware of anything in the heater box area.

Axle - do you know which plant that truck was built in?

It tells you if your cab or frame has been swapped.

If the cab, frame and title match - you're good.

If they are different - then there's some history there that you'll want to uncover.

Oshawa, Ontario Canada.

Not my photo attached, just the orange box and arrow. =-)

Interesting. I wonder if that is an "Oshawa only" thing.
