Topic: Where to find a secondary vin?

[Paxter]

Can someone please list all of the possible places to find a secondary vin?  Please be as specific as possible.

Thank you

Drivers door, buildsheet.  The build sheet could be in the seats, dash, or ontop of the gas tank.

Behind the glove box, behind the heater box......should be stamped into the firewall

A partial VIN is indeed stamped twice on the firewall (both behind the heat/ac case).

Is it only a partial?....i assumed it was the whole vin.  I've only read about it in HPP, in a story where a guy thought he bought a true super duty only to find out it wasn't.

I ned the secondary vin because I went down to DMV to verify the car, and they were only able to find the dash vin and needed a secondary vin.  The door panel doesnt match because it was replaced.  So now I need to wait till july 13th to verify it at the CHP office...but july 13th!!!!!  Thats waaaaaay to far away, considering I can't even drive the car on the road.  But unless I find a secondary vin, I guess I'll just keep working on the minor stuff in my driveway till then.

No reason to put it off if you want it verified...pull the heater/ac box off the firewall and you have your proof.

Yes, it is only a partial VIN... it will have something like 227N1xxxxx

[Paxter]

can anyone post some pics or something of where they are found?  Im in the process of taking the ac/heat box off, can anyone give me some instructions on how to take it off?  I know I should wait till my shop manual gets here but I figured I'd give it a try.

Thanks
