Hey I'm trying to find the chassis number on the Triple cab and don't know where to look. The plate behind the drivers seat is missing but I know it is stamped somewhare and just cant remember where.

you will need a chassis number that is only numbers (ie no letters) the chassis number is stamped under the ID plate located on the right side of the engine bay when looking into the engine. OR if it's a late model it might be on the drivers side, behind the drivers seat, mounted to the bulk head panel.

number stamped into body (under this plate) should be the same as id plate chassis number.

I had a good look at her today and can clearly see the panels off another bus welded in both the corners. I will have a closer look tomorrow but I think it was a 15!! shame eh as they are as rare as 23 windows now.

From that number all I can tell is it was made between March and May 1960.
