I thought at first that it might be a typo, but I read the entire text and it says 1950 there also in a couple places. The interior dash is 1954-55 also. Rich 1947 Loadmaster 1947 Chev.

Is it me, or does the drivers side running board appear a little bent? And are those captains bars above the starter?
