Yes, it was a running change addition sometime in late summer-early fall, 1950. I'm not sure if we've ever been able to nail down a change timeframe, and it could have varied by plant. Surely the dozen or so assembly plants across North America didn't all make the change at the same time.

Russ, do we know your truck's date code and assembly plant?
