Hi,
Above is a picture of the drivers side front part of my frame over the axle. There is a piece of channel bolted/welded as part of a plow frame and the front brake hose passes through the channel.
I know that the general location of the serial number of a WC 1/2t is forward of the brake hose and toward the top of the frame rail. But I don't know exactly how far it is relative to the brake hole and how consistent they were in stamping at the same relative location. I would like to cut through the channel to see if I can find the numbers, but I'm not sure where I should be cutting. I'd like to start as close as possible as I'm not ready to remove the entire thing yet. I'm also afraid that the bolt/nut which is visible in the picture is smack in the middle of the numbers.
Can someone please advise and/or provide any measurements they might have on the location relative to the brake line? How far forward, how high up and what is the height of the digits? I've found some pictures of serial numbers, but nothing from which I could get good scale.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Don
