As you can read in its Gallery story, our '49 was originally purchased to replace a '46 that was a lemon. The '46 had door ;lettering as shown below, as did Charlie's other truck (a 2-ton). The '49 was originally all black and got the red paint at some point before it came to live with us. Charlie's son didn't remember if the doors were lettered or not. I've thought that it might be cool to strip the red off to see.

But after careful investigation and much thought, and consulting with MandPC, the thought is that *if* the lettering was under the red, we would probably be able to see a slight raised outline of it. So I may recreate the lettering at some point, but we won't be stripping the red off any time soon.
