VIN locations on the 1970 models

I have read for years that the VIN shows up in 5 places on the 1970 cars.
Fender tag.
Dash VIN tag.
Trunk rain gutter lip on left side.
Top of radiator core support.
Drivers door

My '70 XP has the door decal, the VIN tag on the dash but I lost the fender tag years ago. I can't feel it in the trunk and I'm  not going to peel up the weatherstrip to find it. It isn't on the top of the core support either.
I wondered if the car had been wrecked and repaired with different panels but it looks all original. No plug welds, no seam welds, no wrinkled panels.
I looked at another 1970 core support and found some numbers that are also not on top of the support but instead on the vertical section facing the front side of the top tank of the radiator.
I looked at my XP car and they were there. THAT was a relief!
Was this a change for 1970? I have a '68 core support that I'm using to repair another car and it has the VIN stamping on top where I have seen them before.

Sometimes VINs show up in envelopes.... :scratchchin: ;D

I had to pull up the trunk seal to find the VIN in the rain gutter on my 69. It was plainly visible as it had not been disturbed or painted over because it was under the weather strip. Sometimes on cars that have been repainted the act of sanding/scuffing/new paint will fill in and obscure the stampings. Many folks sand down or otherwise remove the paint to reveal the stamping. It was common on core supports when I was searching for my car years ago.

68's don't have VIN stamped on them but rather the VON (Vehicle Order Number) which are not related.

You're right about the '68 models and VINs, I forgot about that.
I have a front stub from a '70 Belvedere up the hill. I'll check for the numbers on that one and report back.

These are the numbers from the 1970 Belvedere stub. They are on top of the support as they have been found on other cars.

I had a 70 Charger and it was actually stamped almost dead center and under the old yellow antifreeze sticker-just pure luck I found it.
Good luck

Different plants stamped it differently. Some are on top of the support, some are on the engine side.

Look in both locations just to be sure.
Seeking information on '69 St. Louis plant VINs, SPDs and VONs. Buld sheets and tag pictures appreciated. Over 3,000 on file thanks to people like you.
