Hello Folks,
Just stumbled onto this link:

Not sure if this is 1/48 but may be worth checking out since it's $10 plus you get the '56 for free.. the shipping is steep, but the overall price looks good.

!] ...! The true 1948s had raised panels in the bed sides above-around-&-behind the fenders, and the stake pockets were gracefully sculpted pieces (not the square boxy things that came along in late '49 and on!). Of course, the model can't show that only the '48s got stainless steel trim on the hood & grill, while the later models received chrome-plated pot-metal. 
... it's just that my first "car" was a '48 Ford pick'em'up truck, and I LOVED! that thing (as only a gear-headed teenager with a hot-rod legend of a father could ... :up: ...!). I've had other hot rod pick-ups since, but nothing compares to your first love!
