Well if the number on the door post is missing your in trouble. That is what everone looks for when you go to sell it. But you can look on the top of the frame on the drivers side between the A-arm and the cab. It will not be stamped very deep so you will have to do allot of scraping to find it. But you will need the cab plate no matter what

The numbers I am refering to are located on the side of the frame rails located approximatly where the doors would be on the drivers side. The number is : 3829593 2 7 14 99.

I know that is not the VIN #...mine is 3C154S151742. I did find a number stamped on top of the frame rail that was the last 7 digits of my VIN...it was S151742. This number is stamped on the frame on at least two places that I have found.

I am curious what the 3829593 2 7 14 99 number is all about.
