I found a cheap black selectric for sale locally and I was wondering what it might look like to take the black caps off and put them on a 5251. Has anyone done this?

Not your exact mod, but a few alternate 5251 color schemes that might interest you

Is it a selectric 1 2 or 3?

Yup.
The caps on my 5251 were not in great condition, mostly yellowed, and some had been replaced so the texture didn't match at all.
I use WoB selectric caps and i think they still look great.
