We are still asking: What did you get done on your Bolt today ????
The question, initially posted May 23, 2005, was:
"Whatcha do on your Bolt this weekend?"
After 51,906,997 views, 7378 replies over 185 pages, this thread in General Truck Talk is a happening! And it's not just weekends anymore.
The 1955 1/2 is a made up name by some folks. Then it turns into 1955.5. Then it turns into that is what they were called.
As you can see, Chevy called them Task Force Second Series or 2nd Series or 2nd. The 1955.2 is OK and excepted but it leads towards a decimal unequivalent meaning to second series. I use the 1955.2 because it's easier to type.
It's kind of fashioned after computer versions like 2.0.
Tim and Mike have the correct nomenclature and the GM documentation.
Watch out for careful drivers!!! I'm away on an ego trip. Will be back on Feb 30. I'm not an Auto Mechanic, but I play one on TV. I charge $0.02 for every opinion and I take Paypal. Plan B is always better than plan A, by definition. I recommend invoking MIL-T-FP41c when machining and fabricating I used to think beer was bad for me, so I gave up thinking. Sometimes no nonsense makes sense, in a sense. You can't teach a new dog old tricks. Honk if you're Amish
I guess the terms that I had used are "shorthand or slang" for the trucks. I've seen ads and posts in this forum and others using the same "common" speak. I was aware of the 2nd Series or Task Force designations... and of course the Advanced Design....
Also, if you search the interwebs with the tags 1955.1 Chevy Truck / 1955.2 Chevy Truck / 1955.5 Chevy Truck, it brings up the items i spoke of (in my original post) ... lol...
thanks for the the info guys

Facebook is living proof of the George Carlin axiom: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers."
It seems to be the bastion of ignorant people, unfortunately giving them a voice and a support network. Hence the lunatic fringe of superstitious and paranoid conspiracy theorists continues to burgeon in the petrie dish of social media.
Upshot: 55.2 is certainly more accurate and understandable than 55.5. 55-2 or 55/2 might be even better.
