The Chevrolet Task Force was introduced in 1955 as a successor to the long running Task Force generation of truck The 1955 second series offered standard options and add-ons such as 12-volt electrical systems, the first V8 (the 265 cubic inch), and fleet-side six-, seven-, and eight-foot length beds, the new trucks incorporated wrap around windscreens and optional wrap-around rear window on Deluxe cabs Power steering and power brakes became available for the first time on GM trucks. Electrical system upgraded to 12 volts. the 1955 model was the only year for the seven foot bed lengthThere were single headlights in the wings and one-piece emblem is mounted below horizontal line on each wing
The 1956 modifications included a wider bonnet elblem, a two-piece fender emblems are mounted above horizontal fender line, and it was the final year for the egg crate styled grille.
1957 was the only year for a more open styled grille, the bonnet was flatter with twin spears on top simular to the 1957 Bel Air Fender emblems are still above fender line, but are now oval-shaped, as opposed to previous versions in script.
1958 was the first year for the Fleetside bed, there was significant redesigning of the front. All light duty trucks were titled Apache, medium trucks Viking and heavy duty Spartan. the trucks now hed four headlamps and a shorter, wider grille running the width of the front end. Parking lights are now in the grille instead of being in the front of the wing, the bonnet was simular to the 1955/1956 models, but with a flat "valley" in the middle and it was the first year for factory fitted air conditioning
For the 1959 model year there were minimal changes, the most apparent was a larger and more ornate hood emblem and redesigned badging on the wings
