if you have an early model van pre '74 the chassis number is in the passenger foot well. otherwise on the firewall like wendy said:)

You can try to find a chassis number first.
Look here:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Hope you find something. If yes, pls, write it here or send me PM with full number.
I will try to decode it for you.

Ben, I thought that Holden, Vauxhall and Opel must have one rules about where must be placed the chassis numbers of the vans.
Sorry if I was wrong. I just want to help.
