All the options available in the "Five Star Extra Cab" were available individually. The "Extra Cab" option was a package of the most desirable features at a reduced rate from ordering them individually.



The "Extra Cabs" were not designated by different serial numbers. So that won't tell you anything out of the ordinary.

Captain, I have a 51 Five Star Extra Cab. And, through a very long and expensive process, I have purchased and restored all those options except the seat (I'm a little too short on one end for a stock seat).

Ilyas pictures show a lot, but if you are interestyed in a particular item, let me know and I'll be happy to take some pictures for you in newer condition.

I also have a list of "Options;" "Extra Cab" options; and other "Dealer" options available (at least the 51/52 models).

If you would like a copy, send me a PM with your real e-mail address and I'll send you a copy.

Firstriders list 16 (the advertised 16 items) is excellent, but in a couple of the sales brochures and Truck Handbook I have a couple of these are combined into a single option instead of one of the 16. It's a great list:

1 . Resilient faom rubber padding in full - width Coach seat
2.Headlining -backed by 1 1/2 " glass wool insulating pad
3.Sound deadener on door ,floor & rear cab panels
4.Bright finish Air Wing window frames & divider bar
5.Two tone seat upholstery
6.Customized door and body panel trim.
7.Sturdy bright finish hardware escutcheons
8.Two adjustable sun visors
9.Grip-type arm rest on both doors
10. Illuminated cigar lighter
11. Dome light with automatic door switches
12 . Sturdy lock on dispatch box ( glove box)
13. Distinctive hood ornamentation
14. Chrome (stainless steel) windshield moulding
15. Door lock on each door
16.Twin , matched -tone trumpet - blast horns
The Magic Air fresh air heater was a $62.34 option in '52
Add:
Passenger side wiper.
Two tone dash
Right hand tail lamp
Throttle control


Give me an hour or so and I'll see if I can't find what was available on the 49 for you.
