I thought that all Ford products had a number on the frame. I cleaned the left frame rail in the engine compartment down to bare metal and see nothing. Thanks for any light yu can shed on this for me.
On the few 1951 and 1952 F1s that I have examined, besides the plate on the glove box door, every one had the serial number stamped on the top of the frame, passenger side, beginning a few inches to a foot back of the front cross member. Haven't had the opportunity to look for the serial number on earlier F1s, but that is where I would start. In most cases they were quite faint, but with a little scrubbing with a vinyl scrub pad and some soap and water they became readable.
