I have a copy of an original dealer invoice from Dearth Motors dated 03-11-53. Some of the prices are kind of interesting.
Serial # 83936094 Motor # T137-34413

List price $3085.00
Base truck price $1,753.32
1600 # front springs/shocks $4.13
3000 # rear springs $4.59
Deluxe cab $22.80
Painted front and rear fenders $4.75
Oil filter and replacable element $5.72
Booster brake $38.18
Anti freeze $1.00
Mfgs certificate # 4236 $0.25

If someone wants to post a copy of it on the forum I can fax it to you if you have the abiltiy/interest to do so. I think others would enjoy seeing it.
I'll bet Paul Cook's new invoice almost looks the same
