I'm having a problem finding the vin on this 71 800. Any ideas where to look?

On the vin plate on the firewall.

Someone might have taken the VIN plate off. My '63 didn't have it on the firewall, but I eventually found it inside under a bunch of shit. My '64 had it, but it was pretty oxidized or something, so it was hard to read. Check all over inside, maybe someone took it off and put it somewhere else.

check on your engine or under the cowl

Look on your title and/or registration.

I have no response to that even though I had to laugh

Although I'd like to thank eveyone else for their constructive responses...

California DM...F'n V has a dim view of none vin plated vehicles.

Every 80 800 I've seen has a vin plate on the firewall above the master cylinder. Do you see four holes there?

isn't it stamped into the frame on the front? i thought i seen something like that on the BB a while back....

For a '71 800B, VIN plate should be on the door frame, near the latch assembly, attached with screws. Should also have a VIN sticker on the tub-side of the door frame, approx opposite of the tag. Last digits of VIN should also be stamped into the frame, in front of the steering box on outside of frame.

This may apply to 1969/70 800A models also, I don't know when they switched from the under-the-hood location.

Until you convert to power steering and weld a big plate over it
