Body i.d.

[Blount]

I hope this isn't a stupid question but I bought another 80 series..... can't really make out the VIN number on the VIN plate and the stickers on the door jamb are all faded ... is there anywhere else on the body shell where the VIN number is stamped into the metal? Like they do with the frame

That's the main one I can't make out..... it's real corroded in there like the windshield must have been leaking for many years.

As far as i know all cars and trucks have hidden Vin numbers stamped on them to help the police ID stolen cars at chop shops. Problem is, the location of where those hidden Vin numbers are stamped on the car is a secret. In some cases you have to drill a hole in the frame and use a bore scope to see that number. One other place you can find vin numbers on most 1995 and newer cars is a vinyl tag attached to most removable body panels like the hood, doors, tail gate, and fenders. That vinyl tag was added to try and help police ID body parts from cars that were stolen and chopped.

Ok thanks.....I figured some were hidden.
Just seeing if possibly there was another visible one stamped in the steel body so I can verify whether it matches the title. The vinyl ones are all faded.

Sticker on driver's door

I also have VIN stickers on nearly every body panel. Inside on the front fenders, on the inner lip of each door.

I think it's also stamped on the front frame horn, but I' not sure exactly where.
