Looks like it is in good shape. The best way to figure out that was original is to look up your VIN# If you check the forum there is lots of information on how to read it or if you post it someone can probably help you out.

I assume English is not your 1st language, where are you from?

 

You need to post the VIN number off the driver's door. Someone here can decode it for you. Then you'll have lots of information about the original equipment that came on it.

 

ok I have it : F25YRQ85662

whant to know the original color exterior and interior
thanks

There are a few places to buy stuff, check out the sponsors on the site.

LMC and Denis carpenter are a couple.

 

Looks good! The Y in the vin is definitely a 360 FE engine. That's what I have.

your english is better than most but sometimes it helps to get a translation!

truck looks good, if you get it, hope you enjoy it.
