Thanks guys. The old truck drives like a new one. Except for the flat spots on the tires, and it being low on power.

The 283 needs a rebuild. It looks like it has never been out of the truck. It is missing, so I ran a compression test. I know it was on number 3, and it had no compression.

The truck has a 525AA paint code if I remember, but not sure. But I know for sure it is called fawn, which is a 65 only color. There is a picture of a truck on the site in this color. It is a good bit darker than you would think. My truck is just faded so bad that it looks almost like white in some places.

I am going to paint the truck as soon as I get some time to work on it. A little white paint on the grille and hubcaps, and it will look like new again, hopefully!
