Vin location

[Redpawn]

I just picked up my three M37s last week and two of them have been painted
so many times the vin numbers are not readable on the dash.I want to title
some of them here in florida so I need a vin to go by to get titles.The question is are there any other locations for the vin other than the dash like on the frame or some where else on the cab?

Left frame (driver's side) in front of the steering box on the outside of the frame. You will likely have to wire brush the area a bit, numbers are about an inch tall, widely spaced, and not stamped very deep.

Good luck.

Sweet thanks for the info.

Yep, I have heard of trucks with the VIN on the passenger side before. Conversations on the BigElectric/G741 site never seemed conclusive as to why, but were pretty conclusive that it was a small number compared to the overall production run (for all varients).

Is your truck a stock M37 or M37B1 or is it a military modified or specialty varient by any chance? For that matter, is your VIN only on the passenger side, or is it stamped on both frame rails??

Thanks,
