Most publications only show 265. Did the 283 replace the 265 late in the year? I know that 283's were available all year in medium duty trucks.

In 1957 ALL 1/2, 3/4/ 1 and 1 1/2 and 2 ton trucks had a 265 EXCEPT the 283 was optional on the 2 ton. 5000 series also had a 283 engine. The 265 engines were painted gray.
