good detective work - so, frame matches SPID - your truck even has the upper belt molding and looks like it never had lowers - as the SPID indicates - so body seems original and colors match. Fuel filler hole on the driver's side bed? The only conclusion I can think of is that the suspension was swapped out for some reason. I'd track down the previous owner and kick him in the bagettes. Ha, just kidding. You've got a real nice truck. Thinking of swapping back to 3/4 ton susp? I'd look to see evidence of the leaf hangers, etc - might find a donor on here easily or even locally. Or, if you're happy as is, no worries at all, like I said, very neat truck, drive it and enjoy!
