The non factory pop rivits are a dead give away everytime.

I had a nice black and silver 83 Silverado stolen in 91. In 94 a Austin auto theft cop was making his rounds to the salvage yards and walked by a P/U and just glanced at the VIN# in the windshield and noticed the non factory VIN# tag "pop rivits". He checked the other VIN#'s on the truck and it was identified as my truck. They arrested the driver and went to his home and arrested several of his brothers where they found a half dozen other stolen trucks. They were all deported back to Mexico with little time served and most likely are back in the states again. The Austin police used the truck for a class to illustrate how to spot and identify stolen vehicles. But while it was in the police compound it had two tires stolen off it as well as the A/C unit, battery, radio, and air cleaner. But it now had a fancy blue fade paint job and 47,000 additional miles on the fresh rebuild just before it was stolen. Just my story on the round pop rivits.
