Year Designations

Many trucks that are found in salvage yards have been stripped or have “mutated” to the point where their true identity is unknown. We have seen 1955 Chevy trucks with 1957 grills, 1948 Chevy trucks with the gas tank in the cab, etc. Listed below is information that will aid you in the identification of your truck. Underlining designates a major change, significant model modifications, or key year identifier.
