Default How many VIN Markings are there on a FBODY

How many VIN# locations are on the FBODY. Besides the dash plate and drivers door jamb sticker?
Are these the only 2 or are there more, and where?

A vin on the block? I thought it was just the casting number in the back? I thought the only two were in the windshield and the door panel. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If the car is stock and has not been painted and or had panels replaced there should be a VIN on the following locations...

Window opening on dash
Drivers side door jamb
Hood
Passenger door
Inside of both front fenders
Underside of the rear hatch

Usually the VIN is not on the motor but more so the sequencing numbers on the block match those on the car.
