Good eye!

But the later 51s had quite a few things on them that weren't actually used until 52.

This is the first part that reflects something 52.

And, what year is it? It's a 52 truck that's a 51 model. Every part on it so far (this being the first possible exception) being from the 51 model year.

I still say that it's a 52 and that someone screwed up either at the plant or during registration.

Yeah I think so too, it's just how did the screw up happen. A 51 Model built in 52.

That's a pretty big screw up Ilya! Maybe the factory guys were mad at that dealer!

Can you imagine the court battle, press coverage, government intervention, that that would bring about today?
