A small car show (maybe 75-100) today in town. I walked up behind and then down the passenger's side of this great looking GMC. When I got to the front I said "Huh!" Can you see why?
And by the way, anyone on the forum know who's truck it is?

The doors (50 or earlier) and the 1 piece windshield (54-55.1) on a 5 window cab was what confused me when I first looked at it.
I think the parklights are stock for a '55 1st series.
Great looking truck, but I wouldn't want to take a load of trash to the dump in it.

Some guys delete the vent windows, so that’s not surprising. But it does look like early turndown door handles. But are the ‘stache upturns on the grille piece under the headlights stock for a 55.1?

Looks like a mixmaster- - - - -early doors, one piece windshield, 1954/55 front fenders and grill. No stake pockets in the bed sides?

That picture is at an odd angle making that grille piece to appear to be turned up. It is not actually turned up.
