There is a “logic” to your statement (Korean War need for some metals), but I have never seen this stated in any GM document. Gerry, In addition to John’s excellent Tech Tip, here is another link to 1951 Chevrolet truck information: http://www.1954advance-design.com/A-D_LCVA/LCVA-7-51.html | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 | Sorry Tim, I did not mean GM documentation. I meant what amateurs like us write on websites, including the link John posted above. I also remember reading that years ago, maybe on Jim Carter's site.

The excellent Tech Tip that John links-to, above, does state that series designations were not use for most of 1951 and 1952.
I may have to revise/correct a few images on my website.
