Jeff:
There is definitely one stamped on a crossmember under the sliding door.
Recently I was working on the fuel pump, and looked forward. the back of
the outrigger assembly that you jack it from for the right front wheel.
It's there on my 82 also. I'll have to look at my 80. The 80 was built
in June 1979- very early.
