Here is what I have learned from the serial numbers-
Truck is a 4400 from July of 1949- built in Kansas City(just like all my other "49's)
The engine is a RPO 225 which I am assuming is the early 235? I am looking into that more. the Badger omaha bed has a HARSH brand hydraulic hoist that what the handles say, and what is on the label on the back of the bed(label will get preserved)
There is a cool "the Real Man's Navy" sticker in the driver's windshield of the cab it to will stay.
More to come
