Frame rail serial number stamping locations

[Binford]

Yeah, I tried showing the round crossmember and the rivets in the picture of the rear one I took to help with location of the stamping.

I've made several posts about this in the past and never could find mine. Today I wire wheeled the frame reinforcement at the front and walla; there it is! I was looking on the frame, not the welded reinforcement. I did not check the rear as I assume it is gone from there due to rust that was blasted off and pitting.

I was concerned my serial numbers did not match, due to a reported problem with the seller of my truck, but they do match so I am relieved.

Glad this was able to help then! Cool!

Hey Tim, Ditto. Just took my frame to the blaster's and just before I did I used a wire brush and found mine too. Never thought to look on the reinforcement. DUH....

i checked both places as shown in the above pics.it must have been getting close to 5 o'clock and they forgot to stamp mine j/k. are there anymore places to look. i have 3 tags on the dash but none of them have any model or serial #'s just part #'s i would really like to find them because i am going to use it to tow my s-10 truggy back and forth to our orv park. i am also going to install a wrecker boom and winch on the back to do some offroad recovery. so i really need a VIN #. i have know idea who registered it to the DMV last or if its been registered at all.anyone know how to find that out. does anyones m-715 have bullet holes?my tailgate has got a few.

Do you have a title for it? I guess not....

Without a vin, I dont know how you can search the DMV for a history....

Those are the only places I have ever heard of for the vin to be stamped...
