VB Commodore chassis number

[vc commodore]

I bought a VB Commodore over the weekend, just for parts...I can't find the chassis number...I looked on the top of the radiator support panel, just above the right hand large compliance plate, where my VC number is...I checked all round the top of the radiator support panel, with no luck....I looked around both strut towers and the firewall....No luck

Anyone have other suggestions where to look? I can onsell the car to the wreckers, but they need the chassis number to accept the car....

It was common & quicker back in the day to replace radiator support than replace...bye bye numbers.

Decades later owners would need new v.i.n to get cars re-registered

start sanding back to bare metal, numbers usually very faint anyway and most spray jobs cover/fill them, or cut metal into a thousand pieces and sell to the boy scouts as scrap metal, last time I did it was 20 cents a kilo.

hopefully if your lucky car wasn't original stolen, check the id tags

VB numbers aren't faint as VC, they are in deeper.
I say its had a front end bender in its life

So where do start doing this? The whole engine bay?

It was bought through someone trustworthy, not someone with form of ripping people off

Did Holden stamp the VIN or chassis # into the floor back then.

Front/back, left or right? Gives me another spot to look
