Hey guys, i recently picked up a 65 el camino with the original 283 and i am trying to learn as much as i can about how this thing's life started out. Here is a picture of the cowl tag and am looking for some help figuring out what some of it means.

From what I have read
03A = Built in the first week of March
K = final assembly plant but I couldn't find the "K" code
65-13680 = 1965 Custom El Camino
EUC = Body Assembly = Euclid, Ohio
6228 Body = Fisher #
763 = Light Fawn Ramada Cloth, Imitation Leather (I am unsure on this code, the previous owner claimed that it came equipped with bucket seats, but seeing that there isn't a B after the 763, i am doubting it)
AA Paint = original paint was Tuxedo Black
2M = powerglide transmission (but not sure)
5 = i have no idea
Please correct me if I am wrong, or help fill in more information. Thank You.
