It's a 1954 450 series. Still a cool, good running truck that has a good 248 engine and the pto winch still works. Hood was dang near perfect. I do enjoy hunting down info on the different years and I never knew they had wipers on the top of the cabs on some. I put a picture on because I noticed there are not many similar in the gallery. I'm assuming the 55 1st series were similar in these sizes http://s1167.photobucket.com/user/t...0Uploads/image_zpskcaub1jk.jpeg.html?o=2 | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | My '54 630 has overhead wipers. Your 450 looks nice.

You'll also notice that from 400 series up, the 54 models used the round park lights, & not the square park lights as the 350 series down use. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | Yea I was disappointed to see it had the 248 and the glovebox vin said it had the 302 but at least it runs good | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | Too nice to part!
