The thing of it having different year stuff on it is pretty common for all generations of truck in my area just because they get pieced together with what you can find\afford\like vs 100% correct part. and with the earlier front end being hard to find and expensive when you do find one I can understand the swap.

Thank you. Judging from the condition of the bed, rad support and inner fenders. I'm gonna guess the front steetmetal and doors were trash and hence the later model stuff. It's going to be a complete 100% teardown build so I'll look for the frame stamping then.
