Nice find, it's earlier than 48. 48,49,50 had horizontal grill bars. Where are you from, right hand drive. google the internet, you'll find all the parts you need.

Joblot automotive has always been a good place for truck parts, I used them many times, sometimes they have NOS at repro prices.

I was 14 years old when I drove my first vehicle, a 1946 3/4 ton Ford pickup. I was at the height of my glory!
