should be on one of the silver plates on the door frame

You'll find one of them on the sticker in the glovebox door (if it exists).
You'll find another inside the driver's side door where it latches, a few inches below where the gas filler is located (but on the inside of the door)

Here's a picture of the glove box sticker:

Here's a picture of the VIN badge inside the door frame:

Vin plate should be on door jamb in either era.

The VIN # should be available in four places and all should match.

1) Driver's door (blue sticker)
2) Drivers door pillar (metal plate)
3) Glove box (options sticker)
4) Stamping on upper surface of frame rail (drivers side around PS pump)

Hey Shifty, just curious but the door plate vin says "CS148A1288"?
What does the VIN number on the glove box say?
Shouldn't it have 6 digits after the "A" for the serial number?
I've never seen such a short serial number.
