Introduced alongside the sibling Chevrolet Task Force range in 1955. Known as the Blue Chip in the parallel GMC it had more modern design than the preceding Advance Design without sacrificing ruggedness or durability. Featuring a new body style, wrap around windscreen, an optional wrap around rear screen, power steering, power and power brakes also available. With the electrical system uprated to 12 volts
The trucks were differentiated by running gear and interiors; Chevrolet used Chevrolet engines, and GMC used GMC inline-sixes and Pontiac V8s (Oldsmobile V8s for heavy-duty trucks. For the first time in GM history, trucks were available with optional power steering, power brakes, and V8s. A column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission was standard, with an optional floor-shift 4-speed manual or Hydramatic automatic.
