If its an '03 cab, then its a 208. They didn't make 209 cabs in '03.

It's a 208. You can tell because it's the old body Style.Front end looks like the W210 E class.

w208/w209
it is easy to tell.
Just check the tailight behind and the front grill.
the W209 front grill has only 3 lines and the tailight have a big white in teh middle not like the w208.

but the body is the same.
but u can change the grill and tailight too.
