Not factory. Could be someone replaced a rusted out 1 ton cab with one off a 3/4 ton and used the donor cab ID/paperwork for registration. Could be a problem if truck gets an inspection and the title doesn't match frame ID. I've passed on buying a few trucks for this same reason. The cab roof and rear marker lights are a DOT requirement on 1 ton and larger trucks. The 4x4 cabs have the high transmission tunnel cover as some floor shift standards also have. Normal 2wd cab will need the tranny floor section modified for the 4x4.
