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. -- Last edit: 2014-04-09 02:56:17 |

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 .gif ":)") - 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"  And I have work on progress for some other trucks. So don't worry, I play with unknown trucks with you  -- Last edit: 2014-04-09 03:47:55 |

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 |

It can't be identified as a Chevrolet, as we don't have enough details to claim that. Maybe just as an Advance-Design. -- Last edit: 2014-04-10 01:31:30 |

but you don't have any details to claim that it's NOT either ![[:kiki]](https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/images/smileys/kiki.gif "[:kiki]") -- Last edit: 2014-04-09 23:10:04 |

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

@ 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 ? 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 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 -- Last edit: 2014-04-09 23:51:47 |

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

Only if we use the correct "Advance-Design" name, without the "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. -- Last edit: 2014-04-10 00:13:03 |

 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. -- Last edit: 2014-04-10 00:14:16 |

You're the  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. -- Last edit: 2014-04-10 00:40:49 |

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... -- Last edit: 2015-03-31 22:56:14 |
