It can be stamped in 3 places as for as I know without removing the body from the frame you can:t see 2 of them. The one that you can see would be above the rear drivers side tire on the frame. You will have to get a mirror to see it and also wire brush. Very hard to take pictures with body on the frame.

You can't see this one with the body on the frame. The second stamp is on the top of the driver's frame rail just in front of #4 body mount. It can also be difficult to see with the body on the frame.

Is it right by the body mount, on the side or top.
car was frame off restoration by previous owner, frame and chassis still look like it was done yesterday. Frame even has stencils painted and frame numbered.
