Truckman:
What book are you looking at? I would like to look at that book. I am have been tempted to put it in my 53. However, I want to make sure it was an option. Since my first post on this subject, I have doubled checked my other sources. According the book, CHEVROLET PICKUPS 1946-1972
How to identify, select and restore
Chevrolet collector light trucks, panels and El Caminos
A new option introduced for all trucks in 1953 was tinted glass for the windshield, side windows, back window and even the rear corner windows.
This is written exatly as it is in the book, by John Gunnell.
Not that this info helps a 1950 restoration. But we should be as accurate as we can.
