I bought a nice 50 half ton on ebay. I got it Tuesday today after work I crawled under it to look at the floor pans for mounting seat belts. And I see it does not have the stock rear end. It has the cast number on the front 1253741 and then 7 6 03.
Hy Pastlite, a picture would help me more than the numbers would. Is it an open drive rear axle? The second group of numbers might be a casting date, July third 1953, or maybe 1963, hope that helps.
Thanks 3B its a open rear axle so its not a 53. Its a lot higher geared. The truck is a 4 speed that use to be 3 speed. Unlike the 2 4 speed trucks I use to own. 53 half ton and 47 one ton this one is so high geared you can use first gear.
When setting goals in life. Always aim low to avoid disappointment
