[QUOTE="deadpool1, post: 439890, member: 21229"] door jam vin is 1969 law here. first year there and moved top of dash in 1990? i think. the hidden vin's started in year 1968 all covered by USA CFR laws. (do not read them or go blind) quote classic cars web site. so yes lots more are there.(and a secret to foil bad guys and has) "VINs have been stamped into frames of vehicles for many years, however the process became more uniform starting approximately during the 1968 model year. The VIN was stamped into various metal objects on the vehicle, including the frame, the body, the engine, transmission and other places. The VIN on the frame or the body became known as the Hidden VIN, the Confidential VIN or the Federal VIN. This number is usually not a full, complete VIN but a derivative thereof. The sequential production number of the hidden VIN should match the sequential production number (the last five or six digits) of the Public VIN and if the vehicle was produced after August 31, 1969, the FMVSS certification sticker. The VIN on the engine and transmission would have also been a derivative of the VIN and it too should match the Public VIN provided that the engine and/or transmission is original." [/QUOTE]
