The S&S truck was a 1951 Ford F-1 flathead 6 cylinder.The FORD emblem on the front was cast as one piece,whereas the similar 1952 F1 had separate F-O-R-D lettering on the front.In one episode when it was "stolen" Fred called the cops saying his "52 Ford pickup" was stolen,when in fact it was a 51.Also,the truck was supposibly taken out of a junkyard for the show,and it never ran...it was pushed and pulled offstage by crew and ropes.The truck driving down the road in the opening sequence was a different one.(I would think).
