Where is the m871 data plate

[Hooty481]

I just got a m871 and it has had a paint job. I can't find the data plate so I can license and get a title. Where do I look?

If it's there, it should be on the driver's side frame beam, in front of the tool box.

I appreciate your fast reply. It was right where you said it was. I can make out the month and year of the date and. I can make out the vin number or at least I think that's what they are. What can I use to take the paint off to see what brand it is and not take the info off of the data plate?

I'd try some acetone on a corner to see it it will only remove the top coat.

Brake cleaner works well but might take the black paint off the data plated......anything stamped in should be OK.
