Located 2 trucks on local CL. Both titled. Same seller says both for $2000, no split.

1952 1/2 ton 3 window

1953 3/4 ton 3 window

Tons of parts, extra parts. 1/2 ton has what he thinks is a 55-57 rear axle.

The motor in the 3/4 ton appears fresh with a 235 Thriftmaster sticker on the valve cover. Both cabs are good.

Total 3 motors, several transmissions. I want the 1/2 ton because of the short bed, column shift and because I don't want 8 lug wheels etc.

If I buy this pair, is there any interst in the excess parts to recoup some of my costs? Or am I buying a bunch of parts that need thrown into the 3/4 ton and crushed?

In reverse, if I keep the 3/4 ton and sell the 1/2 ton, is there catalog support for the longer bed in 3/4 t?
