Another thing to remember is in the later years of that time frame was the Korean conflict, and that resulted in nickel shortages. So those trucks did not have the stainless and chrome that earlier models did.
And a lot of guys really like the 5 window option, which added to the trucks, in addition to corner windows, other options, such as stainless window moldings, another sunshade, an arm rest, and on most trucks, a chrome grille.
