I am going to look at some 73-80 fenders tonight and was wondering if there are any markings or easy way to tell the difference between a GM fender and a repop. The guy says the fenders have the GM stickers on them still but I want to make sure that he didnt just take a gm sticker and slap it on a taiwan fender.

I assume the thickness of the steel will be different but is there anything else? Thanks
