Chevrolet's first major redesign post-World War II, the Advance-Design series was billed as a bigger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. The Advance Design was launched in 1947 going on to become the number one selling vehicle in the USA. Available with straight six engines of 216cu in (3500cc), 235cu in (2900cc) and 261cu in (4300cc). and originally launched with Thriftmaster or Loadmaster bonnet embles to differentiate load capcitywith the emblems wer changed in 1949 to 3100, 3600 or 3800. with capacities of 0.5 ton (3100), .75ton (3600) and 1 ton (3800).

The Advance Design was subject to year on year modifications, for 1952 the outer door handles became push button rather than the earlier push down type, the speedometer reads a maximum speed of 90mph and dashboard trim is painted instead of chrome. Mid-year, Chevrolet stops using the 3100-6400 designation on the hood and changes to maroon window and wiper knobs. New serial number codes: KP ½ ton, KR ¾ ton, & KS 1 ton.

 

* Engine now uprated to 5700cc
