1952-53 serial numbers for CA built trucks:
Starting 88766901
Ending 88767500
88767083 is 427 from the end of 1952-53 CA production, so it is most likely a 1953.
1951 is also a B-3, but the serial numbers are:
Starting 88766501
Ending 88766833
As you can see both are before yours.
Also your Winch number says it was made in 1952, which makes sense as most winches are the year of the truck, or one year before.
I will send you a more detailed E-mail in the morning.
