That's cool. If you are unsure on which model it is, post the serial number and I can decipher it for you. What are your plans for the truck?

I just noticed that you had posted this earlier on the 48-56 group. I am normally very active there, but have been busy with a remodel project here at home. I have several flathead parts if you are in need, also I have a complete 52 F3 chassis. It has 16" wheels on the front and 16.5' on the rear, so if if you are looking to change from the 17" widowmakers I can help you out. I'm 20 miles N/E of Crossville.

I'll holler at you if I realize there are other things. :-)
