The frme number is normally found between the firewall and the front crossmember on top of the left frame rail. Most often it is near the steering box mount. The other two spots are also on top of the left frame rail. One is probably under the cab and the other is on the rear kickup of the frame just before the rear crossmember.

Thank you Supereal. I have sandblasted and painted the frame up to the cab which I haven't removed yet. I don't remember seeing any numbers. The transmission has a BB number stamped on it. The 24 stud motor has a serial number starting with BB also.

There is no plate. The numbers are stamped into the top of the frame rail somewhere ahead of the firewall. There are supposed to be two other places on the same side, but the body has to come off to look for them. The numbers are often very faint, made worse by rust and dirt. Hard scrubbing can obliterate them, as well. When the vehicles were new, the same number was stamped on the clutch housing. Over the years, most transmissions were changed and those numbers were lost. It takes lots of looking to spot the numbers, and many times they are not found, anyway

I have rebuilt 24 stud from a 39 panel ready to drop in.( I still have the original 21 stud which has a busted cylinder wall.) I keep reading from different sources about vehicle numbers being located on the frame rail. I never saw any such plate on my frame anywhere.

Can anyone tell me a good source for an illustrated parts diagram for 37 1/2 ton pick up? I am trying to put my 37 back together after taking it apart many years ago and leaving it sitting in the garage. Also, the engine steady rods don't want to come out. Any advice? This will be a slow rebuild and I want to do it right.
