Hello again! I’m sitting here reading another how-to book entitled: How to restore your Chevy (1947-1955) Truck by Deve Krehbiel. He has a photo on page 11 of him standing beside his first pickup restoration which looks identical to ours. He repeatedly refers to it as a 1950. So now I’m wondering if ours is a ‘49 or a ‘50? It has the drivers side air vent (I know 1950 was the last year for that) and no window vents (which I think started with the 1951 model).
Do you call it a ‘50 model If it was produced after a certain timeframe in 1949? Just wondering since his ‘50 looks a lot like what I call my ‘49! Maybe y’all can help me identify what year.

Thanks in advance for any information! I’ll enclose the photo of Mr. Krehbiel beside his ‘50 and then a couple of our ‘49.
