Yes (as posted above by 3B) - for 1 ton through 2 ton Chev pickups. 3B points out one important difference between 47-55st Chevrolet truck cabs (mounts to the frame). There are also other slight differences in cabs between 47-55st trucks (but no "size" differences). Tim 1954Advance-Design.com 1954 3106 Carryall Suburban 1954 3104 5-window pickup w/Hydra-Matic The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
