Default Vin on replacement frame

If the complete frame is replaced does Ford stamp the vin on it ?

IIRC, there's a VIN transfer form the shop has to fill out in order to transfer the VIN tag(s) from one frame to another.

Does Ford stamp the vin on the new frame? If so where?

That's what I'm not sure of. Usually you see a VIN through the windshield on the lower driver's side corner. I know mfgs used to put VIN tags on the front frame rail in the engine bay, but I don't think they do that any more.

The VIN is stamped / placed on multiple pieces so it's harder for stolen cars to be parted out.
