Underneath the van, on the sliding door side, on the back side of the
crossmember. Put your head under the van at the sliding door and you'll
likely see the # glaring at you. If not, use some thinner on a rag a rub
that area and voila.

In my 84 Westfaila, last summer I replaced the sun rotted dash with a nicer,
newer dash, but like a dumb _ss, didn't change the VIN's in the dash.  I did
drill out the old one, but didn't replace the new one.  Now, I've moved to
California and need to register it there, but they need 2 vins--the one on
the door post and somewhere else.
1.  Where are other VIN's located that would match with the door
post/original VIN?
2.  Is there any service out there that will make a replacement VIN plate
with the correct/original VIN #?
