Other than the VIN (the metal one on the drivers side door opening - and, all that REALLY matters...), the door things mentioned above (screw, panels) and mirror are the best indicators. But, doors are interchangeable also... Mirrors can change too, but when going from 71 to 72 style, I believe some holes are left in the 71 cab (good clue). VIN tags are not (or, at least, SHOULD not be). When you pick it up - I'd make sure the VINS all match (SPID (fake or not), metal tag, and frame (not as important to me)) - just so you can be comfortable or, at least, aware of the originality.

I don't want to change up the thread but are you talking about the black around the headline door area like in pic.
