If the VIN number is in the same place as mine its to left of the fuel filter on drivers side rear chassis leg. Kind of 8 o'clock from the fuel filter and a bit below in line with bottom of the filter. Mine was not visible at all I got in there...
2000 is 4 years older than mine. So will probably be in a similar condition with pretty bad surface corrosion!? The problem is the VIN on the chassis was marked/ punched not very deep at all.
Apparently its a common issue.
