Vin number question

Yes, the SO number is stamped into the radiator core support and in the fender tag. The VIN is not. It's only on the VIN tag and broadcast sheet.
Negative on the VIN only being the broadcast sheet. It also appears on the IBM card. The IBM card also lists the SO number. You match the SO number to the card and VIN plate number to the card the same way that you would with what’s on the broadcast sheet. This only works if you have a copy of the IBM card just as it would in only work in your case if you had the broadcast sheet. The advantage in my way is that if you didn’t have the broadcast sheet you could get FMC Historical to mail you a copy of the card on file but once your broadcast is gone it’s most likely gone forever.
