I thought it was a custom cab but the one emblem is off a different truck and none of the interior is original is the like a head liner screw holes that could be there

Pics of your truck and the interior and what options it has plus a pic of the SPID label in the glove box could help the experts here help you better.

The bed is a later one the guy we bought it from swaped it because it had the axillary fuel tank but where would I find out which options it has because the spid and build sheet are gone all I know is the original color is a tan or burnt orange

It's really hard to say what trim level it was when the truck has so much non-original things going on with it.

Your firewall has areas that look to still have more of that original ochre paint color.
