Thanks everyone, you are making me feel at home with this thread, LOL. As I mentioned in my first post, I've been a regular on the 61-71 Dodge truck forum for 12-13 years and Dodge had a 1st and 2nd series truck in 1965. There was always a discussion about whether a certain truck was a 64 or early 65, or a late 65 or 66 model.
The serial number on this truck seems to positively identify it as a 55 so I'd just clean it up good, get it running good , and drive it just like it is. If I changed anything it would be to maybe put a chrome grill on it and a set of whitewall tires. That was a great find, IMO.
