Are there any locations other than the firewall that will have a VIN? My tudor had damage that destroyed the tag and it no longer can be read. She's finally ready to roll,just waiting for the Diamondbacks to arrive! Yahoo!!
 
Firewall plate is just a list of patents. Actual serial number: The original/main one is at top of transmission bell housing IF transmission is original. There is bend-up tab on a slot on toeboard to see it if it's like a '48.
Acessible copy is on left front frame rail forward of steering.
A V-8 number will be like *18-######*
 
bill my 41 vin is located on the drivers side frame where the frame and crossmember meet,but could be anywhere on that side from the firewall to the rad...hope that helps..al
 
Thanks Bruce and Al, I have just searched the forum and found some info but not as definite as yours.And off to my shop I go!--Bill
 
Well,the frame rail didn't have any vin so it must be under the body.But,there is a tab on the floorboard that I pulled up and with a bit of scrubbing found the vin on the clutch housing. Thanks to all for your help.
 
Vin #'s can be along the left frame rail. You may have to clean the top to bare metal. Here is where I found mine at the crossmember.

Thanks oldford2. I found the vin from the front of the crossmember forward on the siderail.It also matched the numbers on the clutch housing! Again,thanks to all for your help.--Bill
