This same number was also stamped into the top of the transmission-to-engine housing portion of the transmission. This location was visible when the floorboard and transmission cover plate were removed ( click here for a picture example ). Of the frame-stamped serial numbers, only the forward-most stamping was visible when looking down into the engine compartment (located between the front crossmember and the dash (firewall). The two other frame locations are visible only when the body is removed from the frame. The serial numbers were metal stamped with numbers\/letters approximately 1\/4\" in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0; font-size:15px; line-height:1.8; color:#333;\"\u003eThe number (including the prefixes shown) was always preceded by (and followed by) a stamped \"star\" similar to an asterisk. It is believed that this was done to prevent someone from fraudulently adding a digit to the beginning or ending of a serial number in order to alter its identification. From the Ford Service Bulletins there is a bulletin dated April 15, 1938 that refers to \"Engine Numbers\". The subject covers the use of the correct stamps when reconditioned cylinder assemblies are stamped by dealers. The bulletin goes on to say that the dealers should use the K.R. Wilson number A404B stamp set. The 1940 K.R. Wilson tool catalog shows the A404B stamp set of 11 stamps (numbers 0 thru 9 plus the \"star\"). The same catalog shows a new number A404 stamp set of three (just the 6 stamp, the 9 stamp, and the I stamp). The K.R. Wilson catalog states that \" The design of engine numbers has been changed to lessen the possibility of outside individuals attempting to change engine numbers. The figures I-6-9 have been changed. Dealers should immediately provide themselves with the new figures - One-Six-Nine. See Ford Service Bulletin, Subject No. 6000 (Engine) Page 22 .\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0; font-size:15px; line-height:1.8; color:#333;\"\u003eThe diagram above is from the 1940 K.R. Wilson Catalog of Service Tools \u0026amp; Garage Equipment, and was included with the notes about the change in stamps. The primary differences were the numbers 6 and 9 , and the number 1 becoming more like a capital \"i\" in appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0; font-size:15px; line-height:1.8; color:#333;\"\u003eOn 1949 and 1950 cars the number was stamped on the dash panel (firewall) under the hood. In 1951 the number was stamped in a plate which was mounted on the dash panel (firewall) under the hood. For early 1952 models the number was on a plate mounted on the right front door pillar post. The late '52 through '55 models (except '55 T-Bird) had the number on a plate on the left front door pillar post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:12px; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1; min-width:200px; background:#fafafa; border:1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius:6px; padding:14px 16px; text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0; font-size:22px;\"\u003e🇺🇸\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0; font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; color:#222;\"\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:4px 0 0 0; font-size:13px; color:#666;\"\u003eCNC-machined tool steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1; min-width:200px; background:#fafafa; border:1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius:6px; padding:14px 16px; text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0; font-size:22px;\"\u003e♾️\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0; font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; color:#222;\"\u003eLifetime Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:4px 0 0 0; font-size:13px; color:#666;\"\u003eBuilt to last forever\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1; min-width:200px; background:#fafafa; border:1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius:6px; padding:14px 16px; text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0; font-size:22px;\"\u003e🏁\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0; font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; color:#222;\"\u003eFactory-Correct Font\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:4px 0 0 0; font-size:13px; color:#666;\"\u003eMatched to original\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fdf0ee; border:1px solid #e0b3ad; border-radius:6px; padding:16px 20px; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0; font-weight:bold; font-size:15px; color:#c0392b;\"\u003e💡 Need Help or Have Questions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0; font-size:15px; line-height:1.7; color:#333;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/community\/contact\" style=\"color:#c0392b; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e — we help restorers and makers every day and are happy to walk you through your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px; color:#888; margin-top:24px; padding-top:16px; border-top:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAll RestoStamps products are made to order in the USA from hardened tool steel.
