Thanks, I bought it without really worrying about the year... Not even sure how we came up with 31, maybe the radiator shell design? I can get the engine number. I am not taking the body off for any repairs....what else can determine the year? here is a recent, but distant pic that shows nothing really.
but I can take pics of whatever, or look for certain parts styles? I believe the low miles showing, mid 60,000s.
also a strange aftermarket twin inside mirror bracket with clock, placed over two old mirror holes.
I am working on the wood right now, not redoing it all, only conserving what is ok. I can get some color back on some of the body, but all fenders are just too rusty for my tastes. This truck was for a rug and mattress cleaning company ! I am uncovering letters carefully. Disregard the lunch box and axe heads in that pic...I was forced to take those things as a joke from an estate seller guy..
