Default Re: VIN Number

Some states require a frame number verification but not all. GM put the number on the engines for a long time but no frame transfer of number at all. In TX a person can get by with a pencil rubbing of the frame number but I would still let a state certified inspection station or DPS officer to witness just in case. Every time I get a good model A frame, I document the numbers and build a file on it. I've not had any that had no number yet but then most of the frames I've had weren't too rusty. Ford did sell replacement frames for the model A and they had no number. They were to be stamped with the number for the repaired vehicle by your local Ford dealer since many of them had the KRW stamp set. They could stamp replacement bare motor blocks as well.
