Anyone able to tell me where took for the VIN on a 1951 Ford F3 pickup?  Was it maybe on a tag somewhere in the engine compartment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
How can there be "self help" groups :?:

Should be stamped on top of the left frame rail between the front cab mount & the front crossmember...Prolly closer to the crossmember...Sometimes inside the left frame rail in the area of the front spring hanger for the rear spring...

The VIN will be on a tag screwed to the inside of the glove box door.

My kid's F 1  has a vin # on the RIGHT side of the frame  ( on top ) about 6" before the firewall , try a fine wirebrush. I painted the area white then sanded the surface. the white in the stamped #'s  were then visible

Found it.  Funny thing is everything indicates its an F3 but the serial number starts with F2R.  Not sure if that means anything either but at least I have something to put on a title.

Thanks for your help.  It was on the passenger side frame rail about 6 inches back from the  crossmember.
