Hello Vince and welcome.

Just a heads up that a moderator is likely going to chime in soon and tell you not to post a "Want to Buy" post.

I'd suggest you keep your eye on Craigslist for someone parting out an Advance Design truck. I don't know how familiar you are with these trucks but that's what the era of '47.2 through '55.1 are known as. I'm a Task Force era guy ('55.2 through '59) so I can't tell you which of the years in your truck would be a direct replacement but someone will chime in soon and tell you.

Again welcome and please post a photo of your truck, it's traditional here when you introduce yourself.
