Hello, Rugo,

1953 standard ("3-window") cab.

Brad shows some good evidence.

!952/53 were "dull" (not much chrome/stainless) years, due to need for nickel/metals for the Korean Conflict.

Do what suits your tastes. Maybe someone will come up with an accent color suggestion.

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
