As per the thread title I am trying to find out what an original factory 1 ton (GMC) or Chev back end looked like without rear bumper. Not a lot of photos out there to use for reference. I know a lot of these trucks that were used for farm type work were modded, especially for hauling grain. I am including a couple of photos of what my trucks back end looks like (1952 9430 GMC)
Would appreciate any information, links or photos to give me a better idea of what is correct when restoration time comes.
