According to Wisconsin Historic Society 28702 L-110, 111, 112 trucks were built in 1950,
start serial number Jan 2 1951 is 29203, according to my parts book exposed hinges start after serial number 30197,
in 1951 an average of 2,413 trucks were built per month, according to book and database 994 hidden hinge truck were finished in 1951,
using deduction, these were probably trucks in stages of completion on assembly lines from 1950, they finished out the run is early first week or so of January and went to exposed hinges from then on,
so far no one knows exactly WHY the change for sure,
I know this doesn't account for the L-120 and up trucks, just a snapshot of what the factory was doing,
EDIT: my parts book is updated version, there is only picture of exposed hinge, does anyone have an early L parts book that shows hidden hinge along with part numbers?
