Does anyone know if Model T frames have the serial/vin number stamped on them like the Model A's have? If so where would it be located?

I'm not sure if they had them or not. But if they did I would think they would be in the same place as an A

Only the 26 & 27's had a number on the frame. It is in roughly the same place as Model A, meaning the left rail about the cowl area. 25 and older frames have no number.

Thanks, I wonder if it's like the numbers on the model A frames, seems like it's miss or hit with the numbers on the Model A frames, I have inquired about several and none have had the numbers on them.

Im pretty sure all the Model A frames had a number on them. I've owned probably a dozen Model A frames over the years and unless they were very rusted in the number area, they have all had numbers.

I've only had one Model T frame with a number. But that doesn't surprise me since only 2 years had them.

My 26/27 had its number on the left side under the cowl.
