Both the trans and axle should have numbers on them. I don't recall if those numbers indicate when the units were built. If I remember long enough I'll look when I get home tonight.

Assuming those units have not been replaced a date code would only tell you the truck was made no earlier than that date.

Could your 1950 motor be what you need to call it a '50 or earlier?

I've seen people update the doors just to get wing windows. It could have been done to this truck too.


1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
