i h pickup vin location

khouse6 · Dec 16, 2014

i have not been able to locate the title to my 1966 international pick up truck. it is a 1100 series.

mechanic cannot find V I N. gotta have it in order to insure it and buy license plates.

do any of you know where the V I N is located on this truck?

mechanic found a # on the door, but county clerk says that # does not come up on her computer.

Maybe glove compartment?

some older trucks had a plate on the firewall. Not sure on a 66 IH

they are generally on a riveted plate, somewhere in the door jam. there may be a second vin stamped into the firewall just behind the engine or under the cowl top panel around the wipers. there is also a vin stamped into the frame, usually around the transmission crossmember. if you cannot locate a vin, depending on the state you live in, the secretary of state police division of motor vehicles can send someone out and they will locate the vin, often times they can put an assigned vin tag on the vehicle proving the state verified the serial number. check at your dmv. or if you have a local body shop that rebuilds totals, they may be able to steer you in the right direction.

The VIN, as WE know it, didn't exist until 1981. For the 1981 model year the federal government mandated a 17-digit VIN, with each digit position determined by government mandate to signify a certain part of the vehicle's makeup. Before that, there was the serial number, and each manufacturer determined their own format for the letters and numbers in the serial number. The serial number is likely the number your mechanic found on the plate on either the door or the door jamb.

The clerk's computer probably isn't programmed for 48-year-old vehicles, the same way modern mechanics aren't programmed for points, condensers, or carburetors.

Do you have the line setting ticket? It will have the serial # - should be VIN # in '66. If you don't have a copy of the line setting ticket, take the glove box out, usually they glued one on the top of the glove box. In SD, the serial # or VIN # is on the title too. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

That was what I was talking about. I forgot about taking the box out.
