This TM is a 1951 document. Pretty sure that its just an updated copy of the 48 version, which is is an update to the earlier 45 version with is a copy of the earlier.... you get the idea.

If you look in the back of the 51 book.. you see some standard factory photos to aid in CCKW model ID.... bomb truck, fuel/water/dumper etc etc. The funny thing is that all of the trucks, every one, have the earlier side curtains (with the 1 vertical, 1 horizontal window). EVERY ONE! While the early pattern was superseded within a year of introduction with the two vertical window pattern... I find it odd/funny that in a 1951 ORD document they use the ID photos from the very first ORD7.
