Holden Crewman VIN Number
Use this guide to find the VIN on your Holden Crewman, understand what it tells you, and start the right parts enquiry for your exact vehicle.
The Holden Crewman was a crew-cab utility built in Australia from 2003 to 2007, spanning the VY then VZ series and based on the Commodore ute platform to offer a rare four-door dual-cab plus open tray layout. Most were rear-wheel drive, with the all-wheel-drive Cross6 and Cross8 variants adding off-road capability to the range.
Where to find your Holden VIN
On most Holdens the 17-character VIN can be found in several places — check whichever is easiest to read:
- At the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, visible from outside the car.
- Stamped into the floor of the driver's or front-passenger footwell, under the carpet or trim flap.
- On the compliance / identification plate in the driver's door opening or in the engine bay.
- On your registration papers and registration certificate.
A Holden VIN is 17 characters and never uses the letters I, O or Q. The 10th character is the model-year code; because the model year can run ahead of the build date, cross-check it against the build month and year on the compliance plate.
The compliance plate also lists paint, trim, engine and transmission codes. Those codes are what pin down an exact panel colour or interior match, so it helps to send them with your enquiry. Holdens built before 1988 may not carry a 17-character VIN at all — on those cars use the body / compliance plate and the chassis and engine numbers instead.
On this model
The Crewman carries a modern 17-character VIN, reflecting its 2003-2007 build, and the identification setup follows the VY/VZ Commodore ute of the era. The compliance and build plate arrangement is the same generation used across those Commodore-based utes, with plate details typically found in the engine bay on the radiator support panel. Reading the plate lets you confirm the exact series and whether the vehicle left the factory as rear-wheel drive or as an all-wheel-drive Cross variant, both of which affect which parts fit. When ordering driveline, body or trim, quote the VIN and build-plate details so a supplier can verify VY versus VZ and RWD versus AWD before matching parts.
This page also draws on later year-by-year data for Holden Crewman to cover modern variants.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the VIN on a Holden Crewman?
Check the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, the floor of the driver's or passenger footwell, the compliance plate in the door opening or engine bay, and your registration papers. The exact spot can vary by year and body style.
How long is a Holden VIN and what does it tell you?
A modern Holden VIN is 17 characters and never uses I, O or Q. It identifies the vehicle, and the 10th character is the model-year code — cross-check it against the build date on the compliance plate.
My older Holden does not seem to have a 17-character VIN. Why?
Holdens built before 1988 generally pre-date the 17-character VIN. Use the body / compliance plate and the chassis and engine numbers to identify the car instead.
Can I ask for parts once I have my VIN?
Yes. Send the VIN plus any paint, trim, engine and transmission codes from the compliance plate and we will check availability for your exact vehicle.
