Is it Original

Hi fellas, just wondering how does one know if the front fenders, hood ect. are original Ford oem parts or a way to know if they are aftermarket ?

What I have read on here and been told that any OEM part should be stamped. Look at the inside of the fender, should see a stamp

The fender stamps are on the top of the fender. I haven't found the hood one yet, but I'm sure it's there.

The stamps on the top of the fenders are small and tricky to see. If you can't find them, then they are most likely aftermarket fenders. I have yet to find a stamping on inner fenders.
