My cousin thought it was a '51 - good to know! thx! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy doctorK, when I was looking up your serial number I made an assumption, my parts book shows the serial nubers with the "C" in them begin with 1775 and are listed for the 1952 model year. The 1951 model year serial numbers do not have a "C" in them, and run from 1001 through 7363. If your truck is equipped with turn down door handles and vent windows in the doors, then I would say it's a 1951 model. If it has push button door handles then I would say it is a 1952 model, hope that clarifies. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 18 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 18 | yep sure does, thanks 3B - it has turn down door handles and vent windows in the doors - I read somewhere that the C stood for Oakland, CA where it was made? thanks again!
