Is there an easy way to identify the one ton front end? I suspect that mine has been upgraded. Thanks!

The lower control arm has a welded on bracket for the lower ball joint. The knuckle has a unit bearing from a later model truck. It will have large aluminum spacers between the hub and the wheel. It should be easy to spot the differences
