This photo shows no bowtie on hood, mirrors are different on this one versus the 1st photo, grill even looks different than 1st photo. are these two the same truck???

The first picture is a mistake, it was a truck I was trying to buy. The truck I am talking about is the blue one. I have stripped the paint off the can and the doors, the factory color was the same on the door as the cab. No extra holes in the door jamb for a data plate, even looked inside the back of the jamb to make sure they have not been filled in. My guess is its a 72 cab at the very least. If it is a 72 cab and frame its title as a 69. So the question is do I just leave it alone or try to correct it. I don't plan on selling the truck but at some point in my life it will get sold. I am doing this to be my DD during the summer. Im sure I can get a 72 title and vin plate from somewhere to make it all match it just seems like a lot of hassle.
