The only thing I've ever seen on Chevelle or Monte frames is the first five digits of the VIN, '13637', for example. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but when I look at the left side rear frame area adjacent to the gas tank that's all I've ever seen.
I've seen full VINs on Vette frames, of course. Please let me know if I'm looking in the wrong place. Thanks.</div></div>
Depends upon the year of the Chevelle as to whether the full vin is on the frame or not. I had to work in theft investigations years ago and got a valuable lesson from the cheif investigator when it came to these old cars. One case in particular involved a car that was a mix of three different years: 1972 body, 1970 frame, 1971 engine and trans, but had a 1970 vin on the dash. It was a mess and involved four different law enforcement agencies and three states! Though I am retired,I can't divulge anything more regarding vin locations because I still do work for local agencies when needed. Someone else might chime in privately to you.
