47-55.1 1952 GMC flatbed dually - questions?

[TX3100Guy]

Many of you have seen that I'm 98% done with the resto-mod of my 1953 5-window Chevy 3100. While I am still chasing a few issues with the truck, I've taken it to three car shows in the area and won each time. First was a People Choice award, next was the Memorial Day weekend WWII Veterans choice, and last the Best Truck this past weekend.

But working out in the shop is my therapy and I've already been out searching for a next "project". I have been unable to find any Chevy or GMC COE's that aren't either 1) dramatically over priced, or 2) rusty hulks that show no signs of life........at least for my skill level.

However, I have found an interesting project possibility, but I need the collective wisdom and knowledge of this group to help me understand more about this truck. Here is what I know:

It is a 1952 GMC flatbed and is a dually. The serial number plate on the A pillar reads "152 22C 4562". With horsepower of 95 and a GVW of 5800 lbs.

Is this a model 150? If so, is it - 3/4 ton?

It has a V8 350 in it along with a 400 turbo automatic transmission. It was unable to start (dead battery) but even with jumper cables, we couldn't get it to turn over. Both rear cab corners are in need of replacement and both he bed and the 4x6 lumber on the frame rails supporting the flatbed are in need of replacement.

Any thoughts or guidance will be appreciated.
