    C1 Body Lift

    I have tried to see the VIN frame numbers with a mirrow with no luck so now I need to lift the body on my 61 just enough so I can locate and read the VIN frame numbers. I don't want to lift the body all the way off. I have never lifted one before and I only have to raise it one or two inches on the drivers side.I know that I should loosen all of the body mount bolts but.

    1. Do I need to disconnect anything else, being that I am only lifting it 1-2
    inches.

    2. Where and how should I lift it so that I don't damage the body.

    Any suggestions would be a great help.

    If you pry the body floor pan up using a tapered piece of wood and then sand the top area of the frame , you can then add some white baking powder and remove the driver carpet back and under the carpet you will see a rubber plug . Remove it and with some default you can read the frame number. I wrote about that some time ago in a post.

      I want to thank all of you who responded to my questions, I found the VIN numbers on the frame. I have one last question, the numbers that I see do match, but I only found the last seven digits of the VIN, is this normal?

        11#####, I believe, should be what is stamped in frame - somewhat like what would also be stamped on the engine pad.
