heh you are soo wrong on that.... most have at least one stamping, if not more... not neccessarily a full vin, but a derivative on some. partial vin on others. -- even other major components may be marked also (think truck rear axle housings, --thats how they identified/tracked the vehicle that blew up the federal builing in OKC way back when) | |
