As per the thread title I am trying to find out what an original factory 1 ton (GMC) or Chev back end looked like without rear bumper. Not a lot of photos out there to use for reference. I know a lot of these trucks that were used for farm type work were modded, especially for hauling grain. I am including a couple of photos of what my trucks back end looks like (1952 9430 GMC)
Would appreciate any information, links or photos to give me a better idea of what is correct when restoration time comes.
Here is a pic of a 1952 Chev 1 ton that I looked at about 10 or 11 years ago before I bought my GMC. My box on my 1 ton is similar with the exception that someone added taillights to both sides. Here is also a link to the vehicle info kits. It does contain info on dimensions as well as some basic drawings.
