Bill,

You could very well be right. That date would coincide with the '53 model year he has reported.

My suggestion would be to hit it with a stiff wire brush on the casting code and that machined flat above to see if a it is a "3" and what the actual "serial number" is.

Thanks for a little more insight. thumbs_up
