VIN's on engine and transmission

[live4theking]

I know that somewhere around 69 or 70 they started stamping the last part of the VIN on the bottom passenger side of the engine and automatic transmissions of cars.

Did they do this to trucks and Ramchargers too?

Did the stamp 4 speed transmissions also? Where?

it's not a huge deal, but I'm considering looking at a 77 RC and I'm curious.

Thanks guys!

As I understand it, the VIN should be on the truck's engine/trans too.

I know that somewhere around 69 or 70 they started stamping the last part of the VIN on the bottom passenger side of the engine and automatic transmissions of cars.

Beginning in model year 1969, the full 13 letter/digit VIN is stamped on the passenger side engine pad and the pad on transmissions.

The best research so far shows that during January, 1969, plants started scaling back to stamping only nine letter/digits. The transition time frame appears to vary by plant. Meaning, cars with Mid January SPDs and VINs may or may not show the full VIN.

Research continues.

They will have the stamp.
I have seen a few 77's with their stamps.

I have a 77 and have been trying to buy a 74 for years from a fella who bought it new. Let's see some pics when you buy it!

Well, possibly... I need something to pull a trailer so I don't abuse the family van using it. I need to be able to bring firewood in. People offer me free wood all the time, but I don't have a good way to haul it. Don't like towing with the van.
