Something is only original ONCE!!! Once you paint a body panel, change the tires or rebuild the engine it is no longer "100% original"! It can be restored as original, or like Dodge meant it to be, or can be complete with every chalk mark and paint id from the factory (like they do on concourse restorations), but it will never be "100% orignal" again.
Kinda like "NOS". There have been more and more adds for "New-old stock" parts on ebay that are simply take-offs. New implies that they are as manufactured and have never been installed on a truck! Old carries the meaning that it is an original part and not a reproduction. Somebody needs to set these guys straight!
Have a great day,
Dan
