OD wasn't a factory option in '52 on any F-series truck, '53 and newer had them. Blucar, do you have a picture of that truck? I have to believe it was a '53 that was sold in '52 and titled as such.
Eagle43, have you laid out the trans on the frame yet? The biggest obstacle on making these fit in a 48-52 F-1 is that the solenoid falls right on the trans crossmember, requiring a large cut. The crossmember in F-2's and larger is further back and has a much larger clear area.
