I have a 49 and a 51 both 1/2 ton. Have learned quite a bit, as I am not a mechanic. If you need to replace your bed--MarK is your best bet. If you want to spice up your bed rolls try this. I bought 1 1/2 Freeze plugs, changed the washer to SS, with a new SS acorn nut--look Great and you can do the front also--which keeps out the Wasps. If you need new rubber for the cowl--, or elsewhere, Buy from Steele--they are pricey, but the best. Added 848 heads and Fentons to both for a little more HP. Both trucks came with 1954 235 Engines. Radial tires are a must for a smooth ride. If you need heads have them checked B4 you get them for cracks, shipping is pricey.. Had to have a crack repaired, thankfully it only had one..Bill
P.S. forgot to mention--if you go with Fentons-Buy Remflex gaskets from Amazon-they had the best price...................
