Vin on a 79?

On a 79 K10 where are the vins? Are there only two, one on the frame rail and one on the door pillar? Or is there a dash vin as well?

There should be a dash vin on the driver's side--about 8" or so from the corner of the windshield.

1979 was the first year with the VIN on the dash, and it was not in the door jamb.
