I am sure the more knowlegeble will chime in, but I believe they are referring to the 5 star cab. It had upgrades like a driver's door lock (exterior), interior light, dual wipers, and such.

If that's the meaning of your question, dmack91 has it right. On the '51/'52 trucks Ford offered the base level "5 Star" trim level, and also offered the "5 Star Extra" trim level which was like a deluxe option. Here's the chart describing it from the Salesman's Handboook.



Or, if your question is directed at what today might be called a "Super Cab", there have been a number of trucks show up that have had aftermarket "extra" cabs fitted. These, when new, would have been railroad, oil exploration, utility company type trucks. Here's a few pictures of ones that have shown up here. Stu
