To go with this:
Engine casting date: A283
Trans casting date: A273
Rear might of been changed looks like 1224 Hmmm wonder if it has 3.9 gears?
VIN says it is the 5223 truck from the Oakland plant. Other factory option besides tinted glass is side mounted spare. Truck had a thick undercoat on it and the sheet metal looks beautiful after I get the dirt and flake the undercoat off of it.
