The Dash, (of course :o) the drivers side seat box (side) (in the aisle) (under the carpet), the frame outrigger; passenger side just behind front door. and the title. Of course, there are also the body stickers ... but, I've never really trusted them. Same with the dash label. hope this helps, John C...
