1952 chevy truck


Recommended Posts

There are 4 main noticable differences between the '50 and '52. The most obvious differences are the doors and door handles. The '52 has vent windows in the doors and pushbutton door handles, the '50 does not have the vents and uses turn down door hadles. While the doors will interchange on the 1:1 (very common to see this), they are different internally. The other noticable differences are the side cowl vent ('50 has it, '52 does not) and the hood side badging ('50 says "3100", the '52 only says "Chevrolet" ). Most of these differences will be easy to convert from the '50, fill the cowl vent, add vent windows, and swap the door handles for handles from the Revell '64/'65 Chevy truck (outside handles are the same from '52-'66).
