Hmm, I'm working on what I believe is a '51 Panel, (VIN # 6JPB 4443) the rear door handle is a pull down type but the cab doors are push button type... Very solid body/frame for it's age so a little hard to believe both front doors have been changed out... It has been repainted a couple times and is not what I think is the stock color (light blue) so should know more once we start prep for new paint, if the doors are not the same blue under all that paint they must have been swapped I guess. At first I thought perhaps it was a mid year change or something strange... Ha ha.
Your truck may be a very late '51 or early '52 (more likely). It wouldn't be unusual for the pulldown handle on the rear to be a carryover. the VIN does indicate it to be a '51, but panels might be a little different than the much more common pickups.
BTW, you probably should have started a new thread, since your topic is slightly different. Forum etiquette says don't hijack someone's thread. But you're new, so you get a pass.
