3/4 ton 2wd. I'm not much of a mechanic but I try. I love these old trucks though. Having a lot of fun researching the VIN and the engine numbers. This board is great too. I have learned a lot by starting at the back of the messages - 47xx - and slowly working my way to the front. Thanks for keeping those available.

I have some questions:

What is the DD stamped below the VIN in the door jam mean? Can't seem to find a reference.

I read in earlier posts that the engine stamp does not match in the VIN. Is that true? If not then I believe this old farm truck has the original 283 engine. BMV has this truck original miles and engine looks like it belongs. No rattles or shakes when I drive it and everything is still tight.

There are snaps around the back window inside. Are those from the factory?

Thanks!
