As I read it, the seller is saying that San Leandro produced 126 trucks in 1954 (correct), of which his is #66.
However, I am a little confused when Dodge came out with the C-3. The literature attributes the C-1 with production year '54, and the C-3 with year '55.
Since San Leandro stopped building trucks sometime in 1954, this truck cannot be a 1955. Assuming the seller knows his serial number and correctly attributes it to the San Leandro 1954 run of Power Wagons, shouldn't this truck be a C-1? Trivia, I know. . . . I wonder if the data plate is stamped C3 or C1, and if it is C3 when that change occurred.
