But here we go what dose it mean when people say AD about there truck. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 | Advance Design was the name Chevy gave to those years of truck.
I believe that Art Deco was not a Chevy term, but one that was given to the earlier trucks by someone else. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Rich is correct, except for the minor matter of Advance-Design being hyphenated in most GM uses of that term. New Design GMC was never hyphenated.

Advance-Design refers to the trucks from 1947-1955 1st series.
Art Deco usually refers to the 1941-1946 trucks. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | There was another post ahead of my other one that gave the years.

For my first year here, I thought it stood for "Art Deco"! I guess that's what I get for buying one. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | Oh no, that isn't the most stupid question here by a long shot. | | |
