Congratulations ! I know how you feel. Just had another one delivered to me a few weeks ago. '47-'55 1st series Chevrolets, came in three different wheelbases. 5100 series 110"in. wheelbse, 5400 series 134"in. wheelbase, & 5700 series 158"in. wheelbase. So is yours the "shorty" 110"in. wheelbase. If so you don't see them often. Most all Chevy COE's were 16000lb. gvw. 2 tons. There were a few special 15000lb. gvw 1 1/2 tons, but they are "rare". Can't wait for the pictures.
