[FC] Year of FC from VIN

[J R Read_HML]

The "stamped #" on the frame is just the last several digits of the VIN.  I 
don't know if that is going to help you determine the year.

I had to find mine several yrs ago as there was some confusion at the time 
that I bought it.  If I recall correctly, it was on the driver side on the 
bottom side (may have been inboard side) of the frame rail at about the 
point where it heads upward on an angle.  I think it was on that angled 
portion of the rail.  Mine was built in Saint Louis.  The stamping might be 
elsewhere if the FC was built elsewhere?

The regular VIN plate (at least on a Rampside) is located on the drivers 
door post - just about eye level.  That should have the full # and you 
should be able to determine the year from that one.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
