The other place is approximately where the driver seat is. The stamping is pretty shallow so if the frame has more than superficial rust the numbers might be gone.

WOAH! That's a clean frame there! How bad was it before you cleaned it up or was it already in great shape? I'm just curious if you were able to see those VIN stamps the whole time.

Top of the frame rail, driver's side, in front of #4 mount.

Driver's side about where the seat is. Note the machine used for the stamp. After the worker made the stamp at this location, he would move to the #4 body mount location.

What a perfect picture, no arguing where the stamp is there
