1952

1952 is the last year of the Ford Bonus Built F1 through F4, and another year of Advance Design for Chevy and GMC.

Chevy and GMC parts include smooth firewalls, floor and kick panels, bed corners and bed hardware, billet door and tailgate parts, hidden fuel fillers and power window kits. The Ford side gets cab sheet metal, billet hardware and RainGear hidden wiper systems before the whole F-Series changed shape the following year.

The 1952 Chevy truck line was the 3100 half-ton, 3600 three-quarter-ton and 3800 one-ton, plus Panel, Suburban and Canopy Express bodies. The easiest way to spot a 1952 is the outside door handles: push-button handles replaced the earlier turn-down type this year. The Chevy 3100 guide covers the year-to-year changes, and the VIN decoder confirms the year. Also see 1951 Chevy truck parts and 1953 Chevy truck parts.
