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. From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations.

 

By 1949 in the petrol filler had been moved and was now mounted upright behind seat in cab; filler neck aft of passenger door handle and in late 1949 the emblems no longer read Thriftmaster and Loadmaster, instead numbers that designate cargo capacity: 3100 on 1⁄2 ton, 3600 on 3⁄4 ton, 3800 on 1 ton. Big news for 1950 was the introduction of telescopic shock absorbers as a replacement for the lever arm type

 

* This truck is running with a later and more powerful 5700cc engine
