Thank you for that post. By the look of it the plate is right above the body seam where the sill plate meets the upright. That is quite different from the Canadian built 69.

If any "Canadian built 72 pick up truck owners" are reading this, can you either confirm yours is the same as Mike (Asheville) 's 72 OR post what yours is like?!?
Thanks

BTW: I have just got off the phone with the Insurance Bureau of Canada and have the paperwork sent in to get a VIN plate replacement. I understand that the VIN plate they attach is not identical to the original but it is legal and does the job! I will post the results of that once I know!
