Is it a 500 Superchief or a 400 Chief. If it's a Chief it's an ABS body, if it's a Superchief it's a poly body. Also, a way to tell, the "horns" where the seat back meets with both sides of the body......the part of the body that goes up and then slightly angles back to follow the lines of the engine cover will be about an inch taller on an ABS body compared to a poly body. I don't know if I explained that well or not, but if you post a picture or two, we'll be able to tell you for sure.

The Poly body will also have a raised horizontal "J" along the side panel of the top half (follows the stripe on the side) . The green ABS bodies had a rough texture and look a lot like HDPE.

I will check the for the J & check the horns. I know this is a 400 chief so it's likely abs Thanks!
If the inside of te tub is grey and smooth it is abs, if it is the same as the outside then it is poly. Of course this only works if it hasn't been painted.
