Can't post pics because in the middle of replacing computer and no photo software yet.
The tag is different than the black on silver tags of the earlier models It is blue with the text rotated 90 degrees
top has the Chevy logo with "For Economical Transportation".
The engine hp is listed as 102 instead of the 83.5 of the earlier 235.
it is 16000 GVW so it's a 2 ton
The serial number starts with a U (maybe) followed by 5300, really can't read anymore but the last letter may be a P.
cab looks like all the other 47-5? models and it appears to be a shorter wheel base.
Anybody able to offer any information?
Thanks
