EricB who wrote the book is/was a regular on all the forums for many yrs. Excellent book and exhaustively researched.

Thanks for that info, appreciate it.

Sorry about that, sometimes it doesn’t send two at the same time, That area where it turns up is for the RIGHT HAND drive steering box. SEE your left side and it has the same turn up area. Your frame IS a Sweptline DODGE frame. Here is a picture of my frame and you can see the FLIP UP area. OH... a...

Does anyone on here have this book? It LOOKS like it could have the info in it that I’m looking for. Thinking about buying it.

Sorry about that, sometimes it doesn’t send two at the same time,

If that is a part number that "can't be found" in a book, it makes me wonder if it was a "Special Order" Frame or something like that? :thinking Do you recognize this part of the frame? Red arrow going to it. It turns up a bit, and on left side of frame too. Maybe you or somebody could tell by it, ...

A parts number would have 7 digits. I'm surprised the numbers don't match, 2509230 vs. 2509235.

Yea, it’s strange. I searched around over the rear axles too, like Kim suggested. (maybe from Canada)

The only other numbers I found were under the driver’s door, a foot away from the first set. And they were very small, and only 7 digits, not ten. 2 5 0 9 2 3 5.........missing the F14 at the end that the first set had.

Right side...

You can see here where they had moved the shock back..

I removed the shocks and mounting brackets yesterday, still didnt find any numbers underneath.
Left side

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. I didn’t work on it today, but will soon. If I can’t find anything on the rest of the frame (over the rear axles) i’ll check under the shock mounts.

Here she is, finally figured out how to send pics, air ain’t easy lol

Ya, that's CLEAR! No doubt about it. It is not a sweptline era vin so the mystery remains. Maybe a part #? Is it possible it is not a swepty frame? (Per the decoder, if it were a vin, it would be a 2 ton 4x4 truck with a zero cylinder engine.) I found what looks like the number 2 on right side, by ...

Sorry about that DocsTruck, was meaning to reply to PwrWgnDrvr

:welcome Welcome to the wonderful world of everything Sweptline!!! I THINK....I may have figured out how to post a pic. Re-grinded on the frame last night, the pic is from the DRIVER’S side, under the door. The letter F seems to be clear, but puzzling since you say there shouldn’t be any letters in...

The frame number I found on the drivers side, below the door. That was after wire wheeling the passenger side first, from the front to the back of cab area. Then I did the same to the drivers side. It’s the only numbers I found. Normally, VIN number is stamped on the frame's right side.... up in th...
