Billed as bigger, stronger and sleeker the Advance Design was launched in 1947 and sold with various changes to 1955 when replaced by the Task Force Series.

Available with various model (weight) designations - 3100 (half ton), 3600 (three quater ton) and 3800 (one ton) along with the Thrifmaster and Loadmaster

 

The pick-up had year on year changes. This is an early model and retains a split wind shield (replaced by a single sheet in 1954) and a drivers side vent (replaced in 1951). 1954 was also the last year for the 216 in³ inline-six. Hood side emblems now only read 3100, 3600, 3800, 4400, or 6400 in large print. Door post ID plate now blue with silver letters (previous models used black with silver letters). Last year to use wooden blocks as bed supports
