I will anxiously await a posting of the warranty plate so long as the VIN matches the frame. In the meantime all the blue parts are bolt on. The truck is likely pieced together from several trucks as the door appears blue. The passenger fender from under the hood shows chrome yellow. The passenger side tail light mounting area shows chrome yellow inside. The blue does not appear to be a standard colour such as Marlin, Silver Blue metallic or the infamous Arcadia blue.
is is there a VIN on the frame? If so, where can I find it?

It is on the passenger side top of the frame in two places. Once just in front of the I Beams and once under the cab. It is the actual VIN tag of your truck that authorities are supposed to use, not the warranty plate on the door. If both the door and frame number match then your soon to be decoded tag will be accurate. I hope when you were painting your frame you did not fill in the punch marks of your numberas they are not that deep.

Very few people seem to worry about painting the interior when they are painting the exterior with a paint brush.
