VIN on dash?

I am looking at a 1976 F-250 on ebay. the seller claims the driver's door was replaced when it was restored and the original VIN is not on the truck. Since the truck is out of state to me, I will have to have it inspected before it can be titled, they will check the VIN among other things. Should this year of truck have the VIN on the dash? If not, any suggestions for getting it titled in OH?

There is also a VIN on the pass framerail about midway under the cab, not that anyone will be able to see it there, though. I have a pic in my gallery of its location.

There is also a sticker on the drivers side door jamb with the VIN if it hasn't been painted over or removed. The plate on the door was removable...seems like they would have transferred it to the replacement door. I'd make sure it was on there somewhere.
