How can you tell a real Impala SS?

Check the SPID (Service Parts Identification) label in the trunk and make sure the VIN matches the VIN on the dash. Look for the code WX3 on the label. If it's there it's an Impala. There should also be a decal on the drivers side cowl, below the hood hinge just behind the front fender.

How do you tell if a Chevy is a true SS?

The cowl tag will tell you if it's an SS. It just won't tell you for sure if it's a V-8 SS or an L-6 SS. The VIN will tell you if it's a V-8 SS or L-6 SS for sure. If either tag starts with 118 or 117 as tom95642 mentioned, it's an SS.
