Re: Newbie ‘65 1500 DRW
Hello Ed, that’s a good catch on the wheels and grill. Previous owner had the split rims replaced with one piece rims. I think the front are regular steel rims as opposed to a rim that is compatible for a dually.
Regarding the grill letters, I think my truck is actually a ‘66. I base that on decoding my VIN using information from LMC truck catalog. Previous owner had to get a new title, he and/or DMV may not have decoded the VIN properly. But my VIN does start with 1502PF, the rating plate on the kick panel says 7500 lbs. and the parking brake lever is under the dash. I’m leaning towards a 3/4 ton. I will measure the wheelbase when I get a chance.
