It finally stopped raining enough to go get some more shots. Click the link and check them out! Someone asked in the old thread what series it is, I am not sure. the GVW is 16000 lbs, if that helps any. Can someone else answer that question? Have a great day!

Looking at the wheelbase in the picture, i'm going to guess 6100 series. Look at the ID plate in the driver door jamb, & see what the numbers are. This will tell you, what you have. Also looks to be a '51 model, with the pull down door handles, & vent glass. Get that ID plate no., & decifer it. That's the only sure way to find out. Good look'in truck. Thanks for the additional pictures. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 19 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 19 | spanky, it has one 51 door, and one 49 door. I think that the title says 49, I'll have to look at it again and make sure. Thanks for the comments!

It does have what is apparently a 53 model door on the passenger side. Are 53 doors supposed to have a wing window? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Yes, '52-'55 1st series doors have the push button door handles, & vent glass. Did you notice if it was a 14000lb., or 16000lb. gvw truck. This would be on the ID plate, in the driver door jamb. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 623 "MONGO" | | "MONGO" Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 623 | Knuckle, Nice lookin' rig man, I snagged all your pics for my reference files.
