Should they read just Chevrolet or Chevrolet Thriftmaster?

According to the Jim Carter book, the early 49s said Chevrolet Thriftmaster and the later ones said Chevrolet 3100.

The way you tell if you have an early '49 is if you have the screwed on windlace and the screwed on center headliner bow. That truck came with the Thrift-master side badges with the 3100 underneath.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
