Default Factory Frame Stencil Location?

I have seen pictures of the vin number or some other number stenciled on the frame during total restorations. I have assumed the factory did the same thing. If so, where on the frame should I look for the remnants of this number? Also, is the vin number stamped into the frame somewhere (location)?

Thanks,

Jim (PROSOUTH) has indicated that the VIN # is stamped into the
top surface of the drivers side rear kick-up (just above the rear wheel).
I have never verified this, but I'll try to take a peek at the 70 tonight.

You scared me Rick - thought you were going NCRS hardcore - looking to restore the factory markings.

The frame is stamped in two locations. Where Dave indicated & also on top of the frame on the drivers side in front of the # 3 body mount. The frame stencil is on the passenger side upside down on the outside of the frame in front of the #3 body mount. You'll need to remove the rocker panel to see it. I have a pic I'll try to post or I can email it to you.

This is the stamping infront of the #3 mount

this in on top of the frame kick up

this is the frame stencil


Sory about the pic quality, I'm not a very good photographer :lol:

Thought I'd add a few more pics of where that stencil is. These are pics of my car during it's resto.
