I was told the truck is a '49 3/4 ton though the title says its a '52, by the previous owner. He had bought the truck drove it 3 times then parked it for 14 years. Someone did a half-assed resto on it before he bought it.
The block is a 54 235 with a 1953 head. There are no tags on the firewall, floorboards, or upper drivers door pillar. The only tag is on the bottom of the drivers side door pillar, it looks as if its been removed and replaced though. Heres what it says:
Max gross weight 5800lbs
Certified net hp of 81.5 @ 3100 RPM
Serial # I46R C
on the bottom right hand of tag is 2561
The I may be a 1 in the serial number.
Since this tag maybe unoriginal. Are there ways to tell what year and model it is by chassis parts, wheel base size, etc..?
Thanks for any help you can offer, Kevin.
