Find hidden vin on frame - Chevrolet 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Base

For that you don't need a VIN number. You register it as a home fabricated trailer and put your own number on it with metal stamps 'GG/2022001'. It has to be on the A-Frame where the hitch will be. If you are good with welding, you can draw it in weld, but they might want it stamped as weld can be ground off.

Here is the information, but the information isn't needed. VIN is on door frame on sticker, viewable through the windshield and under the carpet just bt the driver door, BUT none of that applies because your part has NO VIN number, it is a new fabrication.

Lots of late model cars have the vin stamped or engraved on many of the major body parts to deter car theft and for some time the driver's footwell has been a common place to find a vin, sometimes hidden behind a flap cut in the carpet for the purpose.

The vehicle handbook generally provides details of how to find the identity numbers.

The VIN may be found:
Under the seat stamped into the top of the frame LH side
On the front of the frame viewed above the front wheel
On the front right frame down tube
Under the seat on the rear cross member
Stamped into the steering headstock viewed by turning the handlebars to the left

VIN data build plates can be found:
On the headstock near the VIN
On the front frame down tubes
On the frame side tubes
Under the seat
The VIN plates are either riveted to the frame or on later models are in a black tamper proof sticker format

For most late-model Mule™ side x side, the VIN is located on the forward frame rail below the seat. For all Trans4X4® models, the VIN is on the left rear driver seat frame rail, and Mule™ 600/610 4X4 models have it on the frame rail below the seat over the fuel tank. On most older Mule models, the VIN is near the front of the vehicle

Engine compartment, top of the frame rail, light stampings (use a light on an angle after using fine emery paper or fine steel wool to remove the rust and crud), etc.. Ford assembly plants had a habit of moving it around. Most are on the passenger side, but you'll find them from time to time on the driver's side.

Ford moved the "vin tag" around a lot in the 50-60s from door posts, door edge and glove box doors. I'm am not sure exactly when but by the late 50' and 60's ford also stamped the vin number on the frame. They were located on the passenger side about mid engine on the top of the frame rail and also on top of the frame on the same side underneath the cab. This was the secret vin that police and insurance companies looked for on stolen cars as they were not listed in the owners manual or common repair manuals. The one under the cab can be seen with a mirror but is not where it could be filled off or rest amped without removing the cab from the frame. I have restored a 58, 61,65 and 66 ford pickups and all of them had the vin on the frames. I have run across lots of trucks where they simply moves the glove box door or swapped doors to change the vin on a Ford truck or moved the metal I'd tag but it is seldom they remember the frame stamping of the vin. They also all had a star at the beginning and end of the stamping.

That is your vin the frame is your vin it may have a switched power-train but the vin belongs to the frame not engine and transmission.

The chassis # should be able to be decoded from the vin # on the dash.
The actual # is also printed into the car in 8 locations ( Hidden)

All cars have vin/chassis numbers hidden from view.

the VIN can sometimes be stamped on the rear end part of the frame. if it does not have the motor. it is stamped on the motor, the inside dash, the frame, and the rear end axle.
