I've had this ol fella sitting around for 25 years or so and it's time to start working on it. I just picked up a set of 7.50 17 tires on eBay, that's a start haha
The placard on the door pillar is; C 52 19, under that is 6KSI then 1563. That's it. I tried the search function but had no luck, any help is much appreciated. It's in quite good original condition with a later 235 engine.
Thanks
Rob

Can you post a link to a photo of that metal "placard"/tag/plate?

The code is on one line on the plate on the cab between the door hinges on the driver's side for 50-52 USA Chevrolet trucks.

6 KS I
6 = Oakland, CA truck Assembly plant
KS = 3800
I = September

C 52 19 looks like it was added. (March 19th 1952?)

8800 GVW is correct for a 1952 38xx
