1948 Chevy 3104 w/116" wheelbase. Like this one. could also be MYs '49-'52 but 1948 is earliest possible unless you see something I missed. -- Last edit: 2014-07-24 15:56:07 |

This truck seems indeed to be the light-duty (½-ton payload // 116"/2.95 m wheelbase) Advance-Design Thriftmaster / 3100 pickup, as it doesn't have the 3600 and 3800 models 2nd vertical bed reinforcement bar just before the rear fender. Which means a Chevrolet inner code of 3104, but... • The Advance-design trucks line started with the 1947 model year (known unofficially as 1947 2nd-Series), had a huge face-lift for the 1954 one, and ended with the 1955 1st-Series MY; • This pickup has not the 1951+ vent window, and as we don't see the fuel filler pipe (on the right side of the truck, changed for the 1949 MY), we cannot say more than a 1947-50 model; • With a "default" 1947 MY, it should then have the (1947-49) Thriftmaster name, not the 3100 one. So a ⇒ 1947 Chevrolet Advance-Design Thriftmaster [3104] -- Last edit: 2014-11-29 16:32:13 |
