I'm late getting back here regarding the Ford "stuff." Our gun club had a show Saturday that I needed to get ready for. I took a few extra carbine items and my 5.6 Winchester for display only. It's the nicest carbine I own and have no plans to sell it, ever. It drew a lot of interest and I'm glad I took it along - turned out it was the only carbine at the show!
Charlie, the color code on my pickup's data plate shows Vermillion, but it left the factory Meadow Green. I straightened a few dents and gave it an amateur (me) paint job about 1975. Mine had one sun visor, one tail light, one door lock, one outside mirror, and vacuum wipers. I added an electric wiper motor, sun visor, and dome light from an "extra" cab model. I think it depended on individual state laws on whether both wipers and both tail lights were required to be legal at that time. I believe the "extra" cabs also included the fresh air heater. Mine just has the recirculating heater. I have the "home made" rear bumper. As far as I know, there's no difference between '51 and '52 front bumpers - mine is from a '51. Not sure what you mean about the bumper supports? Is that MI "lingo" for bumper guards? I know that you guys call Forklifts or Lift Trucks "Hi-Lows." - Bob
