Gary,
I put the truck caps alongside my originals, and the differences, though
minor, are clear. Since I bought my car in 1971 from the original owner, I
am pretty confident that the caps on it were original. And, I know what I
bought as a replacement were from a truck, because the seller said so at the
time. (He could have gotten much more money for originals.)
