I'm looking at a 1952 3100 and no nothing about this model vehicle. I'm interested in knowing any problem areas to look out for (key rust areas, etc). Also, anything that might decrease/increase the value of the truck.

Thanks, cusin

Cab corners, cab mounts, door bottoms, sill plates, floorboards, lower edge of the fenders where they meet the door.

This trucks are prone to frame cracking just ahead of the battery box.
