my trucks vin is 1K154K10xxxx

The truck Id plate indicates its a:

GVW----------5600 lbs
Trim---------STD
Paint--------RPO-710A
Wheel base---127

the trucks Vin indicates its a 1961 long wheelbase 4x4 from kansas city. I get that.

the vehicle ID Plate, located inside the cab on the driver side kick panel confirms its a half ton.

the wheel base is 127 which is a long bed

The trim is STD, which is presumably "standard"

the paint is RPO-710A. It could be PPO but I'm pretty sure its RPO.

the 710 is a 1960 color code for Tartan Turquiose, would the 727 tampico turquiose color code for 61 be the same?

What does the "A" stand for?

with a VIN of 10XXX for a 61 I'm betting its an early 61 truck made in late 1960 which might explain the 1960 710 color.

But what does the "a" mean.

How do I post pictures?

Its a factory v8 truck but pretty sure its not the origonal engine. looks like a late 60's sbc.

Its a long bed fleet side bed on the truck.

needs lots of work but so does my life

Wish I could post pictures.

Thanks guys for all your help
