I've heard it is on the top of the frame under the drivers door, or in that vicinity.

Here's a thread with pictures of a 1972 frame. Not sure if the Vista Cruisers had the same locations, but its a place to start looking.

P.S. I just skimmed the thread and realized there's pictures of several different years/models posted.

John from Medford (2blu442) will be able to help.

He had a thread posted a couple months ago with a stripped frame with this holy grail of the VIN world.
