Post the first 6 digits of your VIN or the model number that is on the SPID on the inside of the glovebox door.

Well part of this seem right . the frame, axles seem correct for the vintage. Things like glove box doors, steering columns, trans can be changed easy. The lift and front springs were added and the body bushings are new, as for the front bed bolts they could have rusted away or broke and just never got replaced. with out having the first 6 digits of your VIN or the model number ore comparing the vin on the cab to the one on the frame or on the spid tag its hard to tell. from what i see it looks like maybe you have a k10 on a k20 chassis or 67-72 k20 axles and trans in a k10 pickup. To me thats an up grade except for the trans but will still work for pulling either way!
