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.
The DVLA has this listed as a 1947, but there are inconsistancies which show the 1953 on the number plate to be correct.
IE. The Advance Design was new for 1947, and came with single pain door windows, the vent windows were not introduced until 1951. The hood emblems read "Chevrolet" with "Thriftmaster" or "Loadmaster" underneath. Serial numbers: EP 1⁄2 ton, ER 3⁄4 ton, & ES 1 ton. Which were not changed to 3100 on 1⁄2 ton, 3600 on 3⁄4 ton, 3800 on 1 ton until 1949. By 1953 hood side emblems now only read 3100, 3600, 3800, 4400, or 6400 in large print, it was also the last year of the 216 cu inch straight six engine and the final year to use wooden blocks as bed supports.
For 1954 the two piece windscreen became curved one-piece glass without center vertical dividing strip. Grille changed from five horizontal slats to crossbar design commonly referred to as a "bull nose" grille, similar to modern Dodge truck grille. Engine now 235 in3 straight-6.
