71 Volkswagon camper bus, location of serial numbers

Question

Looking for location of the serial numbers that were STAMPED into the body. any help is appreciated

Answer 1

The Type 4 engines have several markings:

The engine code is stamped into the 72-79 fan shroud.

The same code is stamped below the breather chinmey on the case itself (sometimes this number is near the case parting line on the top) and this is the best identification number to use because of fan shroud swaps.

The heads are stamped under the rocker arms.

The VIN is also stamped into the body just right of the left corner of the engine lid opening. It matches the label in the driver's door jam and the tag riveted to the dashboard.
