GU Ute Chassis Number Location

[SBL]

Hello Everyone

A mate of mine just bought a 2006 GU TD42 and is trying to get a blue slip in NSW. Nobody can find the VIN number on the chassis. No doubt it is covered by paint, rust and dirt but where should he start looking? I searched on my 3.0 2009 GU (only 20,000 kms and a clean chassis) and couldn't find one. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Lyle

It should be on the r/h chassis rail outer face pretty much under the drivers seat. The utes have an extra brace there and it should be on that

Thanks Mate

We eventually found it just where you said. For others who might struggle Its just below and a bit to the left of an oblong hole (approx 20mm x 45 mm) in the chassis. It is lightly etched rather than stamped and even on the new chassis it was almost impossible to see. Once we knew exactly where to look we eventually found one number on the older chassis which showed us where to use the wire brush and find the rest. A bit of rust/paint or dust and you would never find it.
