vin # location on 40 chevy deluxe

I am receiving a 1940 chevy deluxe 4dr soon, and the guy says that there are no numbers on it, well I have a hard time believing that unless they were removed. but he says they just never found any. I know that on my friends 39 chevy they are on the firewall, but that is not the case with this car, can you help?

 

Will check a friend of mine's tomorrow. They are on a tag screwed to the p***enger cowl under the hood line on my 38 Chevy. Earlier Chevys had them on a tag mounted on the p***enger floor near the sill plates.

 

Supposed to be on a tag on the p***enger side floor, but usually rusted & long gone.

 

should be screw holes on the rh cowl side where the vin tag was. no vin #,s on the frame. may have used the engine serial on the ***le in some states.

 

so registration will be fun, I am already going to have to go through a registration service for the REO so I will ask them about this one too.

 

Mine was on the p*** side floor by the sill plate too.

 

Mine were a data tag on the cowl under the hood. Engine serial numbers were used back then.

 

My vin was not on one of my 40 chevys .The other 40 chevy was made in Canada and had a full body tag with vin and body style and number.It was made out of br*** . Chevys of the 40 has a nice body tag that will work, also a 3/4 " by 3 " plate stamped and painted for A pillar would look good.

 

The tag raceratrod shows has the vin. It is on the p***. side floorpan. Have fun reading it. At least that's where all three of my cars have it.

The big tag is a tag from chevys of the 40's unstamped

 

well I just talked to the guy and he said that was one of the first places they looked, but from what I hear this car is quite rough, but all there and very cheap.
