THe link below might work better for some people. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh234/nicholai_ernst/IMG_1655_zps8j5dpy68.jpg I think the code on the photo is: 3JS-A 1415 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.

NickE Wrench Fetcher N Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 39 Spokane, Washintgon	Thank you gents! Anyone know where I might find production numbers for 1 tons built in 1951? Also, it's my understanding that all the cab/fenders/hood (all body parts) are all the same on 1/2 tons up to 1 tons in 1951. Is that correct? Thanks again -Nick

Beds were, of course, different.
