Re: original and replacement parts?

sometimes the primer used can be a good indicator, if the pannel has never been stripped bare.

Maybe look for a stamp somewhere on it. My repro bumber has "taiwan" stamped on the underside of it.

haha that's typical. better than half of the new parts we put on our trucks are from somewhere overseas...saddens me to know that they're not all-american rides anymore.

Is the truck still around? What about the SPID? You could check color on the SPID and the original color on the doors if they've been repainted.
