Exclamation In need of 283 .030 pistons

Hello Im in need of some 30 over pistons for my 283 truck engine I have some but they are 0.057 at tdc below the deck. I just had the 283 bored and honed to 3.905 and have a new everything for it. But I noticed the deck seemed high and I checked out the new and the old STD pistons.

The new to this engine 30 over pistons have a compression height of 1.78 and the originals have a height of 1.83. So with these pistons its a substantial hit to comp ratio and the engine is going back into my 1975 C30 hay hauling flat bed dump truck so it needs all the power it can get.

So if any one has some mild domed 30 over pistons 3.905" and would be willing to part with them for a reasonable price.

It would get us back hauling hay more efficiently. Thank You for any help!
