Hi there!

My '64 pickup has a vin stamped on the frame rail just behind the passenger's tire. This 10 years newer frame doesn't appear to have a vin in that same place.

I googled it, and this forum came up (looks like fun!). 

Can anyone point me to a location on what I believe is a '73 frame where a vin might be stamped?

I'd post a pic of the car, but can't yet, I'm brand new!

If you can't find anything, I think you might have to apply for a replacement vin if you want to drive it on the street. Given the age of the car, it might not be too difficult to do but it will have to meet certain safety standards and all that jazz.

Check for any stamped number...they might be able to cross reference it to a vin. Maybe...

Worth a try.

Best of luck

Not sure I would post pics yet but welcome aboard. Lol

I remember seeing that on the '85 'Vic I turned into a stock car. Thanks for reminding me! I'll have to see if I can look under the custom dash the PO built. Might require some drilling of rivets.

Thanks for the upgrade! A picture is worth a thousand words, so here it is:

This car has a fiberglass one-piece front end and fiberglass door skins. the rear quarters are hand fabricated (no I didn't do the work, my bodywork usually resembles a golf ball) from large pieces of 22ga(?) sheet steel. The interior consists of an aluminum racing seat, a roll cage, a fabricated dash with tach, oil pressure and water temp. It's a bare bones race car. The 351C has a 4v manifold on 2v heads, and a rules mandated 500 cfm holley 2v carb. I believe it has a 3 speed racing trans, but I am in to the conservation of personal energy (lazy) and haven't been under it yet. I bought it not running, The engine seized. I pulled the head and found the remains of a bolt in the #7 cylinder. Apparently someone before me was careless, or at the least, unlucky. I'll post pics of that in a build thread later. Borescopes are very cool and affordable ($10 on ebay) these days!
If I can't find any useable ID, I do have the option of having it inspected as homemade (a relatively easy process in AZ).

Lol, if it were Mopar, it'd be on the garage floor in a red dusty lump of powder.

It's not Ford. It's a fabricated piece. I'm thinking it needs a crease or two in the right places, and it'll be better.

To close out this chapter of the story, I looked in the suspect places, and found that anywhere there might have been an identifying mark on this car, was either welded over, or cut off. So, it's the homebuilt application, and a state issued title route for me.
