General Motors' first major redesign post-World War II, the Advance Design series was billed as a bigger, stronger, and sleeker design. First available on Saturday June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the aging Advance Design model.

The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban,panel trucks. and, Cab Overs. The cab overs used the same cab and similar grill but used a shorter and taller hood and different fenders.

Horsepower and torque did increase by two on the Thrift-Master, to 92 horsepower at 3,400 rpm and 176 pound-feet at 1,000-2,000 rpm, thanks mainly to a revised Rochester carburetor and slightly bigger exhaust valves. Tubular rear shocks became standard, and the three-quarter-ton pickup now used eight-leaf front springs

Nice truck...fragile mirror! This casting came in a nice selection of colors, and was one of the castings adopted into the JL line, but without the plastic mirror.
