The door handle is a rotating model, which was replaced in 1952 by a "push button" system: this truck is a 1951 only model. It seems to be a home made / aftermarket stake body, not even based on a factory platform: this latter had round corners. @ carcrasher88: Not a 1-ton 250, as it has medium- and heavy-duty wheel rims (here 1-ton wheel rims). This cab was used by 1½-ton 300 to 3-ton HC-450 trucks. As they shared almost all wheelbases, its impossible to see which model is used here.
