Don't know about a C inside Diamond, but this was stamped on my '51 Chevy 1/2 ton Pickup frame above the front axle on the left side.

As far as sloped sides on the pickup box, GM went to flat sides in '54. Don't know about the other manufacturers. You could do an image search on the web and find that info out.
