1948 Fordor Vin question

[desertdroog]

Hello Ford Barn. I am a regular on the HAMB/Jalopy Journal board and I joined up here to learn about and understand what I recently acquired.

I rescued a 1948 Fordor with a flat 6 from a metal recyling yard, here in Phoenix, Az. I was thinking about applying for an abandoned title, as I do intend to sell this and not build it. Due to how complete it is.

So, when I have it inspected, does this year require numbers from both the engine block and the frame (drivers side by the front cross member? if my searches on this forum have served me well)? Or did these cars have a more official placard for legal purposes?
