Many (but not all) of the bolts on a Power Wagon are stamped on the head with a DPCD logo like in the picture I attached to this post.

Paul is saying that a truly restored to factory specs truck would use all of the correct scripted bolts in the locations they were used from the factory.

Not every bolt had that stamp, the winch parts for example (which I think were provided by Braden) did not use the DPCD bolts on a lot of the early trucks I have checked. That may have changed over time.

That is why a true restoration is so hard, you have to look at 5 trucks of the same year to make sure you have the right bolt in the right place, with the nut on the correct side, and the correct washer style, etc.

Just a basic rebuild into a nice driver does not require that level of detail, but then it is not a 100 point restored truck.
