talked to the onwer today he says it is a '53 it only has a few problems and runs good he says.. It is on 6 volt wich is a pain.. one dent on the left side and right side passenger window is broken out. He has another one in the garage forget what year it is but it has wrap around glass in the back window.. he wants to restore both but has little time.... neither are for sale.. the little orange truck that you can barley see in the pics has been sittin ther nearly 10 years... the guys got plenty of cash and no hurry to get ride of anything...
You said you were out doing propery inspections.
Are you a home inspector or a code enforcement officer?
to the boards, Russ. I believe tleslie is talking about another truck.

Probably no HOA there! If there was those trucks wouldn't be there I'd bet. At least that would be the case around here. 
It's too bad he has this neat old truck and probably will never get around to restoring it.
There are a lot of people that would love to have it, and actually fix it up and get it back on the road again.

I hate to sound like I know more than the owner But I agree with Jeffs396
It has to be a 51, unless he has changed something.... 51 was the only year to have Vent Windows & Turn down handles.
That's what our GMC is... 1951
For that body Style Turn Down Handles were 51 on back & Vent Windows 51 & up.
Push Button Handles on 52 up
Just a little tidbit of info for ya
That's a pretty good looking truck for it's age, Thanks for sharing the pics
