Re: 47-54 Development/Concept Photos
That is one nice presentation
One more visible difference on the 49 an up is the location of the gas filler.
On the blocks under the bed, the rear part of the frame is slightly different on the 54 than on the 47/53. I'm thinking the kick up over the rear axle is higher on the earlier frames than on the 54 frame. If and when I get to the point of working on my truck in Ernest I'll try to get the frames side by side for a comparison as my truck as it sits has a 54 frame under it. Right now I couldn't tell you what it had for blocks or didn't have as it currently sits.
