eLMeR ◊ 2015-12-20 05:15	Weird mix: 1955-59 Chevrolet Task-force or GMC Blue Chip for sure, but: • pickup, so normally a light-duty-model only; • bumper of a 1955-59 Chevrolet / 1959 only GMC light-duty model; • front face of a 1955-57 Chevrolet medium/heavy-duty truck; • what could be the fender emblem of a GMC truck... or the one of a 1955 only Chevrolet medium/heavy-duty model; • hood of a GMC model. One thing is sure: with so many space between the cab and the rear wheel arch, the bed is not the short one of a short ½-ton model, more likely the bed of a long ½-ton or of a ¾-ton model. Or maybe the longer one of a 1-ton pickup? So a: • A medium-duty Chevrolet truck transformed into a pickup, with a hood change? • a crashed pickup from one of the two makes, which needed a new grille, fender and hood? I'm leaning towards the second solution, as medium/heavy-duty models usually have dual rear wheels. Chevrolet make used as default identification. -- Last edit: 2015-12-20 05:22:41
