Default Frame #'s

I am replaceing my frame right now and can't see any #'s on anything. My old frame is very pitted and my replacement '65 frame has a heavy powder coat.
Can anyone post or email me some clean vin #'s on a bare frame so I know what they look like? I thought that I would expose the #'s on the replacement and document it all for the future. Supposedly there are #'s of the right rear top and the drivers sill area top.
Thanks, Frank

The frame numbers on our '65 are stamped on the left rear kick-up, on top of the horizontal member that extends from the kick-up to the rear of the chassis. I'll look to see if I have a picture.

Here's one, not very good but you can see the left rear brake rotor and parking brake cable at the bottom. Hope this helps.
