Title: Vin number locations question
Post by: Richard Kuczko on May 02, 2013, 05:46:00 PM
Weird situation with my bus.  But am looking for the vin numbers all over the bus. I know there is one on the dash and behind the passenger seat.  Anybody have a idea where the rest are if there is any.

what year? from your description of dash and behind passenger seat its a bay window? there should also be one to the right of the engine stamped in the metal section and if your bay is 71 and newer it is on the left of the motor(when your looking at the engine) i know for sure the 73 and up ones are looking right at you where the foam seat sits around the 1.7 1.8 and 2.0

The reg says 69. But the vin indicates 1970

You can do a last resort with ICBC as you need an inspection anyway. Its a pretty simple process. (as long as you trust the guy you bought the bus from).
