[Bob from Northport]

Is the Vehicle ID number on a Model T engine on the frame like a Model A?? Approximate location??

Thanks!!

The stamping of the serial number started in late 1925. Your frame if in those years might have one. You should be able to see it with the floor boards out. I think they can be located on ether side but will be on the top frame rail. Like the A's it in a perfect world, will match the engine, unlike the A the number is not under the body.

The guy from Portland is basically correct. I had a 1926 model T. the number was on the engine but did not match the frame due probably to the fact that after many years engines were changed. My number on the frame was located of the of the rail on the drivers side just behind where the front of the body bolts to the frame. you might be able to see it if the floor boards are removed but like my Model A you really have to remove the front part of the body to see it .

I have the remains of a frame in the 13+mil range, the number is stamped in front of the center body mounting bracket on the passenger side. The frame is missing the drivers side rail so I don't know if it was a re-stamp or not but do not think so.

Early 26 has the number on the drivers side. These have a different rear cross member without the flange. Later cars have the number on the passenger side
