I understand that strting in 1926 ,Ford cars had
vin #'s on the frame as well as the engine.can anyone please tell me the location of these #'s and if they are the same # on the engine ? Thank you.
They are stamped on the frame, under the front floor board, typically on the passenger side but sometimes on the driver side. They match the original engine which may or may not be the engine in your car.
I think they started stamping the frame about mid 26. Not all 26's had frame #'s They are stamped by hand and not all of them are as neat as Steve's
If your frame is rusty, you may have to block sand it to get the big stuff off and then paint the area with a black Magic Marker. Then block sand it again, to make it the numbers show up.
