mine is a 1/2 ton I guess a B1B model '48 or '49 don't have the Vin plate it's missing and there is no marking on the frame that they says is there either. The '52 I'm assuming is a 1/2 ton he didn't specify

according to the parts manual, if the trucks are both 1/2 tons, the springs should be the same. however, there were different springs for each year. half-tons show the same grouping for both years, with the same part nos. the 7 leaf fronts are 1194190, and the 8 leaf fronts are 1194198.

the steering gear housing and shaft show different part nos. for the different years. i don't know if they'd interchange or not.

same goes for the front axle. the parts manual shows different numbers for the two years. they may or may not interchange.
