Where else might I find the VIN for it? And where should the tag be? Happy Trails, 48155

You might find a serial number plate attached to the firewall near the starter. Usually has 2 screws holding it on....if it's still there....Joe See America's First...Chevrolet 1931 Sedan Delivery 31570 1933 Standard Sports Coupe 33628. 1934 Master Sedan Delivery Canadian 177/34570 1968 Z/28 Camaro 1969 SS 396 Camaro

If the tag with serial no. is missing is there anywhere else on the truck that has the serial number? Is it stamped or otherwise marked somewhere on the truck? Happy Trails, 48155

I didn't know it could be traced like that at least one that was before computers. I would like tohave it for my records.
