Donald if you want to believe that, nobody can change your mind. An original owner could have had a tree limb fall on his truck and they replaced the hood, and 10 years later he sold it and it didn't cross his mind to tell the buyer.

Most likely the engine or the hood emblem has been changed, it's highly unlikely that you have this super rare truck, with a V8 engine and an I6 emblem.

Sorry :-(
