VIN verification: Locating all the VINs

[DatsunMotorSports]

Hey guys,

 

I bought a new pickup cab for my 71. I had 2.5 already, but they were toast from rust or accident damage. So Im putting the new cab on my old truck frame and I want to be sure I have all the vin locations. I can only find the 2 obvious ones.

 

Bulkhead center, engine bay :ID plate

Driver door rear column, near latch :ID plate

 

Are there any VINs stamped into the cab or frame? I didnt see one in the dash either.

 

I will have to go through a VIN verification with the DMV when I go to register this thing so I want to have my bases covered.

 

 

Thanks

 

Ray

I know the 620's had one on the right side frame rail next to the engine mount. Not sure about the 521's. Might take a look though.

Phone the DMV and ask what they look for or expect. My stuff shows a door tag and an engine tag on the cowl above and behind the valve cover. Also there is a number (presumably stamped) on the cowl. The diagram shows it somewhat toward the pass side on cowl.

The Datsun 620 Pickup factory service manual shows the location of these items. I recommend investing 10 bucks in one.
