Welcome. Your only hope for finding the true vehicle serial number or "VIN" is by sanding the sides of the hood and looking for the Army registration number, which on A1's built by Ford, is the same as the VIN. The engine and Budd body numbers cannot be crossed to the VIN. By sanding, I mean EXTREMELY carefully removing paint layers one by one.
