Thanks a ton for the information on it being a 283. The hub pulley mounting disk is a dead giveaway as it is not a true harmonic balancer. I have decided to find some 19.5 wheels from a 1970's P30 and run them for I need to buy tires anyhow. Then that way I won't have to deal with changing the rear end as it has brand new brakes, hoses, lines, shoes, drums and it doesn't leak right now. So if it's not broken, why fix it? So does anyone have the current 19.5 on their truck with the 5.14 gears?
