The Chevrolet Task Force was Chevrolet's successor to the Advance
Design trucks. The Task Force Series ran from late 1955 (second
series) through 1959. At GMC locations, it was called the Blue Chip
Series. The 1955 second series offered standard options and add-ons
such as 12-volt electrical systems, the first V8 (the 265 cubic
inch), and fleet-side six-, seven-, and eight-foot length beds.
1955 Second Series: First year for new body style. New
"wrap-around" windshield�a truck industry first and optional
wrap-around rear window on Deluxe cabs. Power steering and power
brakes became available for the first time on GM trucks. Electrical
system upgraded to 12 volts. Only year for seven-foot bed length.
Fenders have single headlights and one-piece emblem is mounted
below horizontal line on fender.Cameo Carrier series introduced.
1956: Wider hood emblem. Two-piece fender emblems are mounted above
horizontal fender line. Last year for egg crate grille. 1957
Chevrolet Cameo Carrier 1957: Only year for more open grille. Hood
is flatter with two spears on top, similar to the 1957 Bel Air.
Fender emblems are still above fender line, but are now
oval-shaped, as opposed to previous versions in script. 1958: First
year for fleetside bed, significant redesign of front end. All
light-duty trucks are now called "Apache", medium-duty trucks
called "Viking", and heavy-duty trucks called "Spartan". Truck has
four headlights instead of the previous two and features a shorter,
wider grille running the width of the front end. Parking lights are
now in the grille instead of being in the front of the fender and
the hood is similar to 1955/1956 models, but with a flat "valley"
in the middle. First year for factory-equipped air conditioning.
For 1958, GM was promoting their fiftieth year of production, and
introduced Anniversary models for each brand; Cadillac, Buick,
Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Chevrolet. The 1958 models shared a common
appearance on the top models for each brand; Cadillac Eldorado
Seville, Buick Roadmaster Riviera, Oldsmobile Holiday 88, Pontiac
Bonneville Catalina, and the all-new Chevrolet Bel-Air Impala. The
trucks also received similar attention to appearance, while staying
essentially durable, with minimal adornment.
