San Diego Chassis
I pass this Chassis each day to and from work. It's been sitting in this field at least two years. As I recall it had a For Sale sign on it saying it was a '52. I don't really know. Can't get close to it. There's a bunch of other old iron behind the trees. There's a Bed nearby also. Don't know the year. The photo is taken with the Zoom full on.
I have a 3 meg photo that gives a lot more detail but it appears to be pretty complete less engine/trans.
This Chassis is in Escondido (northeast San Diego) roughly at the intersection of Washington and East Valley Parkway. The phone number appears to be 760-715-7204. It's been sitting so long, I'll bet it would go for cheap.

That's gotta be a '52 or older chassis. Look at the steering wheel, column. Plus look at the front you can see the mounts for a flathead. Also looks like a straight front axle. Not 100% sure but from the looks of it it is.

Battery tray on passenger's side--V8
Hub sticking out on rear axle--F-2 or 3
Flatbed--Short running board
Just my 2 cents

Short running board, could have been a Panel, but I don't see a notch in the back end of the running board.

I've stopped and checked it out. Don't know if you want it, it's in dreadful shape.
I'm late....but yes, it's a 48 to 52...
It looks like it has some mild kinking in the rear most 2 crossmembers, which concerns me a little bit.
Agreeably, along with most of the rusty crap in Escondido, it will go for very little.
You might want to look into replacing that rear tire if you buy it. I don't think that's an original slick.
