The Series page for the Tech Tips VIN code thing-a-ma-bob has the following 'names' for the different years:

'29 "International"
'30 "Universal"
'31 "Independence"
'32 "Confederate"
'33 "Eagle/Master Eagle"
'44-'46 "Victory"
'47-'54 "Advance Design"
'55-'59 "Task Force"

Then the list kind of drops off until the '73 to '87 trucks, which it refers to as 'Rounded Line'.

Not sure which source is the most accurate.. but I can tell you every piece of literature i've seen on the '47 thru '53 Chevrolet trucks has called it ADVANCE DESIGN and not ADVANCED DESIGN.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
