Subject: [oletrucks] truck id help needed
I got a '57 long bed, the side emblem oval says 3600. It has a floor
shifter and looks like another lever for an e-brake.
>>>3/4 ton and up had the floor parking brake. 1/2 ton trucks had the brake
mounted to the bottom of the dash on the driver's side.
Has a hole in the dash for a radio with seperate holes for the knobs. Did
they have "factory" stereo's back then?
>>>Yes.
These holes look to have been stamped out by a machine. I'm assuming this
is a 6 volt electrical system.
>>>The Task Force ('55-59) trucks use a 12 volt system.
Last question, does the 3600 designation indicate that the truck is a 3/4
ton?
>>>Yes. See below:
