I have a 51 chevy truck with a VIN starting with 5JPJ
that makes it a california built half ton short bed from october of 1951
First question:
because it was built in October of 1951 , does that make it a 1951 model year or a 1952 model year.
next question:
would it have come with turn handle door handles or push button door handles.
next question:
whats the deal with 51 doors? are they unique because they come with both turn handles and vent windows.
Can I install 51-54 factory vent windows into a 47-50 door and use them on my 51?
reproduction doors are listed as 47-50 and 52-54.
Next question:
is there a significant difference between these two sets of doors that prevent me from using a reproduction 47-50 door and a 51-54 vent window and installing it on my 51 cab?
