My 69 bee is in the body shop right now, sanded down (mostly) to bare metal and I'm not finding the vin numbers in those places. Anyone ever had this problem? 2020 RAM Longhorn 4x4 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

Only if was sold as a "body in white" to some racer I'm not sure exactly which year mopar started selling bodys in white for racing Good luck, BTW ,I learned long ago to never say never when it comes to things the car factory did back in the day Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Though 68's did not have VIN numbers on the body they did have the SO numbers, so they should have been on there. Don't forget, this is Chrysler so anything is possible!

It is a St. Louis car, and fortunately it does have the fender tag and now that it is in the body shop, mostly sanded down to bare metal, it's plain to see that it is all original, body wise. I did find the part number on the driver's side trunk drip rail, but not a vin number. 2020 RAM Longhorn 4x4 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

I haven't tried on the passenger side yet, and all the trunk seal is mostly gone, but I'll get down to bare metal if necessary. 2020 RAM Longhorn 4x4 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

Some are heavier than others but some can be seen/felt on the backside but many have no signs anything was stamped on the other side. Careful, your character's showing!

I have personally never seen them any where other than the driver's side seal flange running along the quarter panel. Generally in the middle-ish. Careful, your character's showing!

I hope it's not a High dollar car because even with a fender tag and a VIN you still have NOTHING on the Body itself to match it to , the dash and VIN are BOLTED to the body.

I was also "freaked out about it to the point I spent $30 for a quick consult with Galan on the subject. He assured me it was possible for the Error to be made on an assembly line of 5 metal cars ( they were stamped before painted)all looking the same rolling done the line, and the Dude that stamps, runs to the bathroom only to return to the wrong place in the line.. "poor Quality control at Chrysler in the 70's Common that could never happen!!!

It's a very late build, spring special car that was an auto on the column, N96 and painted F6. Original engine and trans long gone and converted by previous owner to 4speed, bench seat. I'm putting it back like I want it. 4speed, bucket seats, power steering, and after market tilt steering. I'm retired now and want to make it a little more comfortable. 2020 RAM Longhorn 4x4 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

If that is the case I would find some stamps and put numbers where they just be JUST IN CASE ....
