Re: Need help deciphering this SPID

Here is the truck when we pulled it home. The story goes the original owner bought in 1968, he ran a small repair shop out of his garage and worked on an oil company's fleet just down the road from his house. He used it as a grocery getter after he retired and then passed it down to his son once he passed away. His son ran a restoration shop and had big plans to do an AC conversion, big block swap, and do a full custom build. He started stashing NOS parts about 30 years ago to rebuild the truck and saved all the original parts as well. He had a heart attack just recently and his brother decided to sell the truck when settling the estate. Most of the original stuff is nice enough to bolt back on the truck, all the NOS is perfect and still in boxes/wrapping. Our plan is to restore the truck back to exactly the way it was when his dad drove it off the lot from Deal Chevrolet in 68. We are pretty excited to build this one, I will start a build thread once we gain some traction
