More info on original motor and color

[JWheeler331]

I have been reading over the Vin number section in the FAQ trying to figure out more info on my 1965 C10.

I am sure the correct info is somewhere on this site but I have not been able to find it yet.

On the plate inside my driver side it has the following listed;

Color = 505. What color was this originally? I found a color chart for another year and if I read it right that was Dark Green. Is that my original color?

WB = 115. I assume this means Wheel Base?


How do you find out what the original motor was? When I was looking at the Vin Number section it appears that my truck is 2wd, SWB 1/2 Ton, Pickup, 1965 and made in Atlanta.

I am not sure how to find out the motor size though.

Thanks in advance for any help.
