The slide locks check out, but that grille can't be original with that blue oval...?

You are right, the grille has been replaced with an '82-86 grille as the '80-81 grille didn't have the oval.

Also, it has the clear turn signals. I wish they would have shown the certification label as I'd like to know the plant and manufacturing date.

But it is really a nice truck!

Nope, that's an 80-81 grille that somebody has glued a newer blue oval on. Looks awful.

Gary, remember that 80-81 grilles have waaaayyyyy more "bars" than the 82-86 grille.

I think you are right, Shaun. I didn't look closely enough.
