Gas tank outside of the cab => 1947 to early 1949.
Rear double wheels, and seems to be the 137" wheelbase => Chevrolet Thriftmaster (future 3800) / Loadmaster (future 4100/6100) Dump. Or GMC FC-253/FC-281/FC-301/FC-351/FC-451. No other picture to better identify?
Chevrolet or GMC, both should have an [Advance-Design] body/chassis id.

maybe you should go thru the 55 pages of unknown trucks surely you can solve a few

here the link

Thanks for the link. I usually use its more general sibling. And I also use your posts in the "Non-Unidentified Vehicles" part of the forum to discover forgotten vehicles :)

- Already "played" with this one, this one and this one (go straight to the last comment, for this last one: it was "my" very first AD truck, and I shared all my discoveries. Somewhat... long to read :) ).
- Plus I put further information for this one, this one or this one.
- Plus some other suggestions for "non-truck" vehicles.
All just waiting a second point of view or a validation. "Patience est mère de toutes les vertus", also known as "Wait and see" :D

And I have work on progress for some other trucks. So don't worry, I play with unknown trucks with you :beer:

This pic is at 00:29:39. I went all over the movie, there is no better (and no other) view :/
The better to say, to me:
- Model year: 1947 to 1950. So 1947, in IMCDb "language";
- Make: unknown, as we do not have enough details to chose between Chevrolet and GMC. Or we create a "Chevrolet/GMC";
- Model: unknown, as it depends on the make (which make us choose between 7 possibilities...);
- Chassis/body: Advance-Design. The only thing that is absolutely sure :D

It can't be identified as a Chevrolet, as we don't have enough details to claim that. Maybe just as an Advance-Design.

but you don't have any details to claim that it's NOT either [:kiki]

eLMeR it would be more useful to go thru unknown trucks and try to ID the clearly visible ones

eLMeR MH

@ mike962:
1st : do what you like, as I don't say you what to do, and let me do what I like!

2nd: this truck is as much a Chevrolet as a GMC, and we do not have enough details to say the difference. So claiming it's a Chevrolet is not identifying this truck, it's just guessing something that might be false. That's not a proper job, for me.

3rd. I understand that you want to identify unknown trucks and vehicles, and that's what I like to do too, but that doesn't allow us to guess a make or a model.

what if it's simply impossible to ID it ? [:kiki] and I find it really stupid to leave trucks unknown that we know what they are , they come from the same assembly line and are exactly the same but just some badges differ and you simply can't see them [:kiki]


if it was listed as GMC would you then complain too that it might be a Chevy ??

or maybe better just list this things as Chvrolet/GMC and be done with it

Listing this as 'GM Advanced-Design' would be one possibility.

Only if we use the correct "Advance-Design" name, without the "d" :D

You're right, kudos. As I said before, it's the only thing that is sure, about this vehicle. And there is a lot of such GM trucks that have been (maybe wrongly) id as Chevrolet or GMC, in IMCDb, although we cannot see their face. So it would be a good way to have more accurate identifications, with that solution.

:whistle: We already have a few vehicles listed simply as 'GM' without any model name, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem if we do decide to list it in that way.

You're the :king:

So could some of the 43 "pickup only" of the GM page then join the Advance-Design "model", so as some others could gather in a "Task-Force" model page.

About "our" truck, t0nkatracker said on the forum:
"For vehicles that we can't tell if it is a Chevy or GMC we already have a naming rule, as long as we can tell the model or series. i.e GM S-Series, GM G-Series, GM C/K-Series etc."

(And thanks to the admin who changed the id in that way).

Wouldn't it be better to set "Advance-Design" as Chassis/code name ([Advance-Design]), like the already existing GM [C-Series] ? This way, some "just GM" Advance-Design pickups (and one Suburban) could be gathered with this one.

For no on, with "Advance-Design" just as complement, it doesn't help for researches. The truck is just among 27 "noname" vehicles lost themselves among 883 "GM" trucks...

IMCDb habits for unidentifiable Advance-Design/New Design truck give Chevrolet Advance-Design as default...
