Hi All,
I have been looking for my chassis serial number on my Ford 3 ton CMP and have had no luck in finding it.Is there a common location where they are stamped that will help me finding it?

Hi,
On my ford the serial number is on the frame passengers side front well and it have the ford star

[cletrac (RIP)]

Ford cab 11s and some cab 12s will have the serial # stamped in the passengers side of the frame rail under the cab on the vertical face. Cab 13s don't usually have a serial # stamped in the frame. I've seen some however stamped on the top of the frame right by the front motor mounts. If the tranny is original then the # stamped on the top slopey part of the bell housing is the serial #.

Hello Derk,
If it's any help my F30 has the serial no. 99 TF 558342 ( which is the same as that stamped on the engine clutch housing) stamped on the vertical face of the left hand chassis rail 42" foreward from the centreline of the rear axle.
It was very hard to see and only became apparent after sandblasting and priming the chassis.
Regards Terry.
