you know whats a great question! I'm really not sure. from what i read so far, i know that there is no "brightwork" on that specific year due to the korean war. How would i find out if it is a limited edition vehicle? I don't have the truck yet, but i may pull the trigger soon. all this got is getting me thinking even more. LOL... I can't help but keeping it totally stock and true to 52 form would help with value?
