yea, 30 years in a shed only brings you into the 80's theres 10+ years of life unaccounted for, and during the period when replacement parts from junk yards would have been at its peak...

but like as said above, if its not real then fake it.
and ditto the SPID

Fake it? as in, replace the SPID? I would never replace a factory SPID unless it was damaged or missing. even then I would stay as true to the truck as I could.
If the original SPID is intact, I think that would be worth more (emotionally and monetarily) than a fake reproduction SPID, especially one that misrepresents the original truck.
This reminds me of the whole big block corvette debacle, and how there are more "factory" big block vettes sold at auctions than GM actually produced..... (maybe it was specifically the 63' split windows, I cant recall the specifics...)
I have no problem upgrading my cars with factory features, but I wouldnt ever try to deceive or pass them off as ORIGINAL features to my vehicles...
