Hey Silas, I saw on the internet the horn button, same design as yours. They are saying 1949-50. I tend to believe it to be a 1950 because steering wheels 1949 and 1951 look different. I look at the truck with Wichita reminded me when I was stationed at McConnell AFB years ago.

Hey Silas, I had a good time watching everything that you do throughout your day. I've been disabled for a number of years now, and you do pretty much everything that I used to do. My best friends uncle used to own a junkyard in south Phoenix, way back in the 70's to the 2000, but in the late 70's and up till 1983, I would hang out there just about every Saturday and work alongside my friend. Man! The cool cars and stuff that would come through there was amazing! Every once in a while, his uncle would give him a car that he would buy for 100 bucks and he and I would go to town on it, fixing it up with whatever he could find in the junkyard. Fun, fun times. Thanks for all the fun memories, Silas. Have yourself a great night, and enjoy your tomorrow. God bless you and your family. Take care, my friend.

I had a 66 Chrysler Newport when my wife and I got married. We drove it on our honeymoon. My wife didn't like the steering on it, she said it was to easy to turn the wheel she couldn't tell what it was doing. So I traded it to my Daddy for a 64 Impala he had. I was in the Army and was on my way to Vietnam so she was going to be driving it all the time. I come home on leave in 6 months and bought her a new 72 Nova Rally Sport. I drove it a 1000 miles to break it in before I had to go back. Wish I had that one now. Have a good day stay safe and God bless. Dan 🇺🇲
