On the plate inside my driver side it has the following listed;

Color = 505. What color was this originally? I found a color chart for another year and if I read it right that was Dark Green. Is that my original color?

WB = 115. I assume this means Wheel Base?


How do you find out what the original motor was? When I was looking at the Vin Number section it appears that my truck is 2wd, SWB 1/2 Ton, Pickup, 1965 and made in Atlanta.

I am not sure how to find out the motor size though.

Thanks in advance for any help.
I have found tons of great info on these older trucks on the GM Heritage Center Website. In particular, they have free downloads of Vehicle Information - click here. Choose the Chevrolet Trucks (2nd Chevrolet option) and just find your year truck. Download the adobe file and you will have hours of great reading. It's a great reference to store on your computer and it's free!
