While sandblasting my 353 Air-portable I came across the fact that the rear frame is also stamped with the vehicle serial number.
On the right rear of the frame just ahead of the bumperette the number is stamped with the same size and font stamp as the front part of the frame.
A picture is attached for your reference. Note - The numbers have been traced with a pencil to take a better picture.

That is a real neat find and makes a lot sense. Thanks Bill
