They'd have to have some kind of record, but given that it was done in 1987 (by the 87 in the number) then there's a pretty good chance they won't be able to and won't want to try and find said record. It must have been a new set of rails with no numbers. If you just want to know what the original chassis number would be then it's easy, that's the number on your tags. Not sure if there is any other info that would really be useful to you.

Given that the chassis doesn't match and the amount of rust in the body, my advice would be to spend 5 grand and find a matching numbers van with little rust. That 5K will be saved just in the amount of bodywork and the extra value of having matching rails and you're more likely to finish the project rather than wasting money on something that give you constant headaches.
