Gidday Rod, some sunliners had a lot of paint on the draw bar.
You will have to rub it back with a wire wheel (grinder is quicker). I have had 3 Sunliners and the numbers have been hard to find till I worked this out. Just Start at the coupling and go back till about the ten inch mark. Both sides though. Most I have seen on the Drivers side of the bar. Hope this helps.

Hi Rod,
I've done 3 old vans using blue slips. Each one had no findable chassis number.
The Inspector at the servo had no worries. They email the RTA who issue a chassis number, which you then stamp on the drawbar. It takes only a little while for the RTA to send the numbers back to him, & happened while I waited.
He even loans me his letter stamps & hammer to thump them into the chassis rail.

Hi Rod,
All of my Sunliners had the numbers stamped....they read
YYMM something to separate them then a build number of 3 numbers
eg 6301X88 Jan 1963 number 88.
I think the numbers are a total, not per year.
I have seen 1 without the numbers, only had the number 47....and a key with the same number.
You could also check around the hitch....have seen 1 stamped there.
Regards Humpty

same thing rodnet i found mine on the drivers side top maybe your draw bar has been replaced some time as the c section that some were built with was quite flimsy the previous owner of mine welded some 6mm steel to it and made it a box section but you can still see where it must have buckled previously i still got a new chassis no from qld transport and stamped it in near the old one ,it made life that much easier with the buracrats .wait till you try and insure it now thats fun. my original no was 6509x cant remember the rest its quite crudely stamped too maybe a few to many xxxx at lunch time ...
