Chassis number

[max]

Hi all,

Recently bought a Chesney 1971 tamden registered in Qnd. Took it to do the blue slip but no one wants to do it since there's no chassis number on the frame, there's only the weight engraved on the drawbar. Any ideas where it would be?? I'm in NSW. Any info appreciated

Thanks, firefighter

Today my dad found it. It's engraved on the drawbar right next to the hitch and it was almost invisible because of the paint coats

Is this my Chassis Number ~ ~ LS141 ?

I think my VV is a 1959 Supalite.

And does it mean anything?

(I apologies for the poor quality of the pics)

G'day aquamum,

Yep, that number is your chassis number.

What does it mean?? Well, it certainly meant something at the time it was applied, so now all we have to do it work out what.

I'd be fairly confident the 141 numbers were the consecutive numbers of vans they'd built. So, you have the 141st chassis built.

The 'LS' bit? You would sorta think if it was a Supalite then the letters would be the other way round, ay? However, somebody else might have been using the SL prefix. One day we'll probably find out that the letters just related to the builder's two daughters, Lisa and Sarah.

Have you looked through our Down History Lane index to see if there are any other brand names that might fit the 'LS' category?

cheers,
Al.

Thanks for that Al

I'll go searching now and maybe I PM some Supalite owners and see what their chassis numbers are?.

Is there a "register" somewhere of V V details once they're registered for the road, such as make, model, year, chassis number, colour etc -

I know of a Holden EH Car Club (I know this site is a forum not a club ) that has a comprehensive one that I will register with when I'm finished my tow car - the Holden EJ ute I'm rebuilding !!
