A lot of vehicles left the factory without a buck tag. I've got three trucks and none have a tag.
Also, sometimes the frame VINs are stamped lightly and are hard to locate/read. You'll probably need to take a wire brush to the frame to bring out the VIN.
Here is a picture of a buck tag, its attached to the firewall with a single screw.
