Any idea what an original 1970 trailer VIN would look like or be located? I just restored the trailer and never found one. The DMV thinks it was never registered. It came from Cypress Gardens and only 1 other owner that never registered it. I am planning to have it weighed and create a home made trailer registration worst case but i can still create a VIN
Thanks

My '69 trailer has it just a foot or so down from the hitch- it's an aluminum tag mounted with 4 pop rivets. The first digit tells you what model trailer it is then a space then in my case a 4 digit serial number. Does not look like we can add pictures yet.

WoW, You are correct. I cleaned the paint off it didn't realize there were stamped digits on it. I can barley read the stamped ones on the bottom. On top, I can see 7 71 which looks to be the manufacturer date. So the vin must be 3H 831. That short? Sound about Correct?
Thanks

Marc,
As Gary mentioned, I'd say what you found is a serial number and not a VIN. The "3H" would be the trailer size and then the serial number. That should work for the DMV. Also, you may find a number stamped into the steel on the bottom near the tongue.
