Here's a pic of the only number I found on the cowl....it does not come anywhere near matching my VIN though.
BTW, my rosette riveted dash VIN, data plate, engine partial VIN and the engine unit number as noted on the PHS all match.

According to Zazarine, yes. If you have his book, check the top of page 17. It shows a photo.
I have to say, I don't see how anyone could read this number with the body on the frame.

Default Frame numbers

You guys kill me....I can't fathom these frame number speculations....sorry, but I'm in Western NY and have never SEEN a frame that wasn't chunky style rust! My first southern car made me want to really try the "you could eat off it" clean test! Once I sandblasted the rust off my 69 frame, I'll bet it doesn't weigh half of what it's supposed to! -- "whaddya mean a frame isn't made out of 20 gauge steel???? It's the same thickness as a fender, everyone knows that!!!!!!" The day I find a vin code stamp on a frame from a local car, I'll eat my hat! Okay, sorry, I guess no one really cares about our rust issues up here so I'll quit ranting.
