Thanks for the replies all! I contacted the Museum today and they are starting their search for information. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they have something on file. I added additional photos to the garage of the truck to help give a better all-around view.

Hello all! I've just started on the restoration path for a 1952 LJ and signed up for the forum to get all the information I can. Its already provided a wealth of information! I purchased the truck a few weeks ago from a guy who fortunately saved the truck from going to the scrapyard. I'm told that the truck was originally purchased by SeaTac as a dump truck with a 10 ft. wide box (hence the extended mirror brackets on the truck). The truck then went to a quarry operation in WA for a while where it was only used infrequently. The quary removed the dump box from the truck and that's when the previous owner bought it. It sat as a cab and chassis until I purchased it. I'm looking forward to the process of getting it roadworthy and looking good!

fxfymn, It has a Cummins NHBT, a 5x2 main box and a 3 speed aux box, I believe all Mack. The rears are mack rears, unsure of the ratio at this point. I have two different tags on the rears and both appear to have been rebuilt at some point. I'm still looking for information on the engine specs.
