lack of rust, straight panels as they're expensive to replace if you can find them. runing gear not important as it's cheap as chip

look under the rear and it should have 2 anti tramp bars going forward from the axle either side of diff ... a lot of replicas dont bother going to the expense and work of putting these on.
