41chevy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Sweet truck . One piece windshield makes it 1954 or up.

j hancock Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 1955 was a major redesign year for GM, the 1955 Chevrolet cars and 1955 Chevy/GMC trucks featured the wrap around windshield (including other GM products). 1953 truck was the two piece windshield, 1954 was a one piece windshield (one year only) and then the wrap around in 1955. Nice looking food truck! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 An ex-fire truck no doubt based on the chrome bumper and the spot lights. These chassis's were very popular for fire apparatus and you still see quite a few of them around. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

The early 1955 trucks are easiest to I.D. because GM went to an open drive shaft in stead of the Torque Tube. Jumper and Son have one I wanted to buy but never got a price from them.

Joe Ditchkus Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I think with the one piece windshield in 1955 was called first edition. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49644-old-gmc/#findComment-368482 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We had a guy from my home town that pulled for a local cardboard box company with a GMC equipped with a 3-53. Talk about a unique sound.

Paul Paul is correct for the pick up line, but I think for the bigger trucks GM waited until the 56 model year to introduce the new cab.
