John Hitch | Fleet Maintenance
Chevrolet started building light trucks in 1918, with a half million made by 1929. It took only four more years to reach 1 million. This 1949 Chevy GP 3100 Series reflects the automaker's merger of style and utility. Chevy started production in 1947 and the 'Advanced Design' remained the same until 1954. The success of the light truck spurred new plants to pop up in Cleveland, Flint, and Los Angeles, while GM also expanded the body plant in Indianapolis.
