most ppl call it an option sheet. It is the Service Parts IDentification.
The VIN on the frame is only a partial number, the one on the SPID is not there for legal reasons, nor is the one on the drivers door sticker. The VIN plate, under the latch assembly on the cab side of the drivers door jamb is the only legal VIN on the entire truck. Without that metal plate (one plate 70 - 72, 2 seperate plates 67 - 69) you are probably going to have to go through a bunch of red tame and BS at the BMV. You can expect to be treated like a thief when you tell them your VIN is missing.
