Left side frame in front of the shock is where the serial number should be. Any data plates on the glovebox door? Numbers should be on the side of the hood or on the door. You might also look on the tailgate for markings.jbell wrote:PJ wrote:Nice Dodge! Any history on it
Hi Pj, I haven't researched into that yet. I still need to take some time and stripper and look for a serial #. I've found lots of #'s , just not the right one. One frame number I found ends in AF. Blue exterior and white interior "screams" Air Force.........Thanks, John

Missing logbooks are not a problem if you are going to rebuild the plane, just start new ones, If the plane had been civilianized, get a copy of the planes file from the FAA, and try to get the military service card for it and go from there.
I have done a couple of logbook reconstructions, it is not that hard if you have something to start with.
