the chassis number is stamped on the chassis itself, under the floor, on the passenger side. it's on the crossmember that is near the rear of the cab (the C shaped member that dips under the tailshaft), and it's stamped it the front face, practiclly under the passenger seat. you're looking for a 7 digit number, beginning with "80######" (mine is 8010978). they don't have the "KR" prefix stamped on them anywhere. they're normally a b*tard to find these days, as they are covered in 40 years of crap/oil/grease/road junk, so a rub with a wire brush is usually needed to see it. let me know how u get on. cheers. |

Thanks Brett i never looked for it over the last week we removed the engine to replace the clutch and replace the crankshaft seal,clean the engine and paint the engine bay thought i might have wet rubbed too hard and smoothed it away  makes sense to be on the chassis,it did have a isuzu motors placard on the lhs inner guard reads 8007838 good chance thats it i will check tomorrow.

KB off the top of my head, maybe 17-18, including cars that are on the road, complete ones that need a resto, and those that are just a wreck that's been ratted for parts (but is still a cab and chassis that someone could use if they were VERY keen.) |

seems mine are the odd ones....... all the others so far in in the 6000's and 7000's, but my 'spare' is in the 9000's, and the one i rebuilt is over 10000..... but being odd suits me, so some will say! |
