A friend of mine gave me a this model as it had a broken front axle and a broken passenger door and he thought I might be able to do something with it. So what did I do? The pictures speak for themselves.
From Wikipedia"
General Motors' first major redesign post-World War II, the Advance Design
series was billed as a bigger, stronger, and sleeker design. First
available on Saturday June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various
minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the aging Advance Design model.
From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States.
While GMC used this front end, and to a slightly lesser extent the cab, on all of its trucks except for the Cab Overs, there are three main sizes of this truck. The half-, three-quarter-, and full ton capacities in short and long wheelbase.
1953 - Last year for the 216 in² I6.
Hood side emblems now only read 3100, 3600, 3800, 4400, or 6400 in
large print. Door post ID plate now blue with silver letters (previous
models used black with silver letters). Last year to use wooden blocks
as bed supports. New serial number codes: H 1/2 ton, J 3/4 ton, & L 1
ton.
