What does a FACTORY CHASSY look like? Need help!

All my vin numbers match on my '66 f100 4x4. Frame, doors and title all match.
Guy is saying my front end suspension looks non factory from a later year. He said that because it does not match his "factory" 66 4x4 that he supposedly has. I think his is wrong. I haven't seen it though. When I look up parts the all match my 4x4. Sorry I can't upload any pics.

I'm asking y'all to post pics of your CHASSY front end. Thanks.

Water is the best way to confirm if the chassy is factory or not

best way is the vin stamped on the passenger side frame rail, on top near where the alternator is

heres the steering gearbox info

Yes I have confirmed all the vin numbers. They are matching. Guy thinks the suspension and steering is from newer Ford. I just confirmed steering box is correct. He's thrown off by the added on steering stabilizer and camper special sticker. He thinks it's a 2wd possibly which is ridiculous because the vin is f11 not f1. I'm sure it's a factory 4x4 but any other way I can confirm the steering and suspension

F10 or F25 = 2WD

F11 or F26 = 4WD

I'd say he doesn't know what he's looking at. I've had a few people trying to tell me how somethings supposed to be but their all wrong.
