1952 SINGLE CAB
Got pics/info for this? send it to me
First year of the Single cab so of course there isn't any "changes" yet. So I just posted some features for this year which continue on until the change is noted in the appropriate year.

Truck starts production mid-year.

No Cab floor mat.

Gates have no stampings on sides or the tailgate, they are smooth.

Gates use 6mm bolts to attach brackets and latches (1952 only)

Dashboard is merely a pod holding the speedo, headlight and wiper switch etc. Full width dashboard available as an option only.

Reflectors have big diamonds and a black painted back

Mirror arm attaches to window post.

Vent window is hinged and attaches to front of window post.

Heater knob is pull out style.

Push start button is made of bakelite.

Chrome hubcaps (until end of 58)

Semaphore switch is located on the speedometer pod in the upper right corner. 80mph speedometer reads upside down and backwards.

Semaphores are ribbed.

Speedometer cable has no shielding.

Front bumper is commonly called the "ribbed" bumper. Front is same as a standard bus.

No rear bumper.

Air cleaner is truck only and has a 2 piece arm

Crankstart rear apron- not the same as a standard barndoor, truck only
