I can only speak about the Ford CMPs here but as you probably know the engine number is also the chassis number. Ours were usually but not always stamped on the top right hand chassis rail adjacent to the engine mount, sometimes on the vertical face nearby. The other place to try is the top of the bell housing on the gearbox assuming it is the original.

I will look at the engine serial number to compare, but of course engines get changed after 70 years. But generally frames do not, which is why I am looking for the frame serial (if it exists). I have observed serial numbers under the door on Ford Cab11 trucks, and forward of the right rear spring hanger on Ford cab 13s. But I did not find numbers in either location on this cab 12.
