I got a bit lucky, I think. I just picked up an original sales book and it
appears to be the year of my truck 1950.

that is cool i love the CEO & the BIGG panel on the cover. that has to be some good reading & to see what you could of gotten on those large trucks.
just wondering does it show the options you could get????? if so does it show the fleetside bed for the super long beds (something like 15 feet long) seen one at a show years ago & the old guy who owned it told me he bought the truck new & w/the bed as an option back then.
