Re: Chassis number locations -put them in here

How about we make it easier for the next bloke...
What about keeping this thread for chassis number locations...
We have had the question asked many times...
i have just obtained a

---

and can't find the chassis number..Any clues??????

I'll start:

chocs

1971 International 4070A Transtar

location:
left hand chassis rail approximately 125mm (5")
forward of the rear spring hanger, on the front spring

chocs

1990 International S line (SF2670)

location:
Left hand chassis rail
app. 350mm (14") behind the front spring hanger


chocs

Good idea Chocs.

1979 International ACCO (I'd imagine most ACCOs are the same)

location:
Passenger side chassis rail forward of the front spring hanger, on the front spring.

(See photo)

AR series International Left front chassis rail

mack bogie drive rhs chassis behind front drive upto about 1982 . some are on the lh chassis near the the front spring mount. single drive can be either side front or near the drive rh side, i have found them on the side near the top or bottom flanges

On the Forward Control (F-series) Macks, the chassis number is also hidden on the chassis, underneath where the big cab support member, that runs over the top of the motor, is bolted.
You have to unbolt the cab support member to see it. This was an anti-theft measure by Mack.

peterbilt cabovers up to 1964 (at least the rh australian ones)...on the upper chassis flange just behind the cab mount leg on both rails which was meant to be covered by the pogo stick crossmember (anti theft measure ?)

cabovers from 1964 had the number, once again on both rails, stamped low and just forward of the front spring shackle bracket,

all conventional petes i have seen have had the number stamped high on the side of the rail, once again both sides, between the rear cab support bolts (six bolts each side) and also on the hood latch extrusion rails, as you lift the hood, looking down on the inside

# 1 Tip from the

It was interesting walking around Sandown and looking at KW "chassis numbers" on rego labels (yes, I'm tragic).

Surprisingly there were a number with the same "chassis number"! Actually it was the part number of the chassis rail.

So it helps to know the format of the number you are looking for to avoid such mistakes.
