5 Ton chasis frame number location??

[Lex_Ordo]

I have been trying to locate the information using the search, however I am finding negative results.

Could someone tell me where I can look on a 5 Ton M816 Wrecker, to find the Chasis/ VIN number? I'm told the truck in question is titled already, but the data plate is missing, I am trying to determine if the title's VIN number matches the truck.

I know where to look on a duece, but since I have someone else looking for me on the 5 Ton, I need to know if it is in the same location, or another place.

Thanks DH for finding my old post.

I knew it would come in handy someday.

You wont believe how I found it(I certainly don't memorize all these threads).

Yup, Advanced search in the 5 ton forum for "identification number frame".

3 key words. I got 3 results. It took about 3 minutes to look them over and find your helpful post.

Thanks for the info and pics to go with it. It will give the person I have looking a good place to start. Hopefully he will see it.

So good things happen in threes?

Been reading all the posts and can't see the answer. Where exactly can I find the VIN on the d.s. frame of my M816? I've got to remove a bunch of paint wherever it is.
