Advance Design recognition??
 

Is it more commonly known as '47-'54 or '47-'55 Chevy trucks?? I know the '55 first are in there. But I've seen websites that have it both ways...

I'm working on a little something for the AD truck guys and wanna make sure I get this right!

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

How about 47 -55.1?

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

That makes sense. I'll see how it looks


Getting a pretty rad t-shirt design made up by the way! :metal:

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Hmmm....55.1 doesn't seem very snappy for a design. Maybe 47 to 55 1st edition?

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

I thought about that but it's kinda long. I wanna have it similar to my task force shirts like my avatar pic.

So ideally I need to figure out if 54 or 55 is more correct

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

55.1 is the best. imo

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

54.99999 ;)

just leave the 55's out of it!

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

How about "AD '47 - '55"

When they have to ask, they will learn.

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Hahaha.... Until a 55 1st series owner lashes out at me for not including them, lol

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

This is very true. It's going to have Advance Design Era at the top. So it should be semi self explanatory

Keeping it simple is an advantage.

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Yes sir! Totally agree!

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Once upon a time you'd say "55 and a half" when discussing the mid year model change. Back then decimal points were reserved for money. 55 1st series is another common moniker.

Once this gets decided I'll be sending my TF shirt back so the model year can be adjusted appropriately. :lol:

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Hahaha..... Gotta blame GM on this one for making a brand new model truck in the middle of the year! lol

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

55.2 to 57?

Looking forward to the AD design. How about 47 - 53? I would get that since there were a number of changes on the 54.

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

47-55, those that know will understand. Those that don't....well they will have to figure it out. It isn't like this is a Mustang site where 64 1/2 is a big deal....

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

you did mean 55-59... right?

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Yeah...sheepish grin...guess I was thinking cars.

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Easy now!!!!!....I'm the one with the 55 1st....ha ha

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

A lot of the long time AD truck guys go with second series 47 through first series 55 as both had two body designs in the year model.

It really isn't worth getting nitpicky with though.

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

^^^ Yup. 47.1 were left over "Art Deco" trucks from '46 which were really the same truck in ALMOST every way as the pre war '41 and very limited '42 trucks. My "46" actually had a 41 cab as the rear window was held in with a perimeter sheet metal ring. True 46's didn't have that. Someone replaced the cab somewhere along the way, or maybe the entire truck was pieced together(?)

Maybe he doesn't like 4 headlights?

Hope you make those shirts in girly colors. My wife will be needing one for her '54 Panel.

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

tf is tf whether or not you like it or not

i agree with orrieg 47 to 55, no one will know the difference even if they see 47-55 and 55-59 side by side

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

Just tryin' to yank your chain, Ogre. I like 4 eyed trucks, even though right now the only thing I have that fits that class is my Class A motor home('88 P30).

Re: Advance Design recognition??
 

That's why I didn't wanna leave guys like you out with 55 first series
