Someone dumped a Ram 3500 on my property. No plates, and the cab and part of the engine compartment are burned. It has a steel flatbed and probably was a weldor's truck. It hs a V10 engine and a transfer case putting the front driveshaft under the driver. It has a Dana 80 rear with 4.10 gears. Dual tires. Regular cab.
The VIN plate was destroyed and there is nothing left in the cab or under the hood that easily identifies the truck. The door and jamb are bare except for some ashes.
Where would I find a VIN on this hulk? Any other way to identify? There is a tag on the rear end with a part number. Would this help? Thanks!!!

check radiator support. Also ive heard either bottom of passenger side frame rail, in area of transfer case or top of frame rail around drivers door area.

If you know a LEO there are hidden tags that help them ID burned vehicles. Not sure when manufacturers started doing it though. Tim

It should be pin etched on the frame rail on the passenger side lower flange near the trans/tcase. Correct. Look there, the VIN is pin etched into the frame. It was done fairly early on the chassis line (frame component assembly) in the plants.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
