As stated above, it's either a '47, or '48 1 1/2, or 2 ton truck, seeing how it has the frame mounted fuel tank. The fuel tanks were moved into the cab for the '49, & newer trucks. If the front axle dust cap has bolts holding them on, it's a 2 ton. That channel bumper was only used on the 1 1/2 ton, & 2 ton trucks. Scrap price will be above $500, so unless the owner just doesn't know any better, you won't get it for $100-$250. Good luck.
