If it says "bower", it's not real. The name is "Eddie Bauer". All EBs have a single outside body color except for a lower bodyside tan (or copperish) stripe and Broncos have a matching tan camper shell. Some vehicles have a tan pinstripe, and some of THOSE have "Eddie Bauer" in the pinstripe. All EB interiors are tan with "Eddie Bauer" embroidered on the seats & floormats, or with just the Eddie Bauer pine tree logo.

If your '83 has any "Eddie Bauer" parts, they've been added - it wasn't an option until '85 I think.

...from the master of adding the EB look!

Either post the codes from the sticker in the door jamb, or send me an e-mail so I can attach a 330K Word document that explains them. Those codes tell the original colors & trim level of the truck.

Like steve83 said, if you have an '83, it's not an Eddie Bauer. They didn't come around until '86.
