1955-1959 Chevy Truck Video I.D. Guide (CTR-235) 

Great video and we should all thank GOD for everything in our lives daily god bless you and the classic truck rescue ranch

Rick, keep your video's just like they have been! I love this channel and especially your love for the Lord and your stating as such. You and Jamie are awesome people....my kind of people....down to earth, good hearted people who love God, animals, and enjoy life! ~Doug~

Getting a notification from CTR really does brighten up my day during lockdown thanks rick.jamie.annabella👍

I'm a Mopar guy and so was most of my family therefore I never had the different Chevy options and emblems explained to me. Very informative. Thanks. Keep God and animals in the videos.

I am in awe - I have spent 20 months so far restoring my 57 half toner and I would say I have a passion for it. What you have presented it so valuable- that you sir..!

Thank you Rick and keep up the good work. Folks like you that make this world go round thanks again.

I'm going to have to watch this again. Lots of good information!!! Yes I totally enjoyed it!!! I have a 57 1 ton with the 9 foot bed. 6 cyl and 4 speed. I bought it in 1972 and used it to move mobile homes and made lots of money with it. In 77 I took off the 9ft bed and built a welding bed on it and used it to haul my 200 amp Lincoln welding machine and related tools. I love that old truck!!!!

Great Info There, Rick, Thanks, Prayers For All From Us Here In Canada. ATB T God Bless

Please keep doing what you do as being real and with the heart you both have makes this channel so good to watch.

I can see the styling cues throughout the development here to where our Bedford products in UK came from in similar period cheers Rick, enjoyed this one!

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed your Truck Ranch...glad I found your channel. God Bless You.

I loved this video, I don’t know much about 50’s trucks. I’m a 60’s girl.

55 cameo and 55 shortbed checking in here. thanks for the video.

To put it simply, its a matter of choice. I watch your videos because I enjoy them. If people are lookin for a reason to be offended, they will find one. We cant waist our time worrying about them. Have a great day and have fun!

You did a good job Rick,you do know your trucks for sure, give a big hug to Lou I miss his picking on you on things, god bless him

Thank you for teaching history, Rick. God bless and take care.

Great job God bless you my friend. I Enjoy your channel as I share your compassion for GM trucks and our king of kings TY love seeing the general as well

Rick Every Time I Watch YOUR VIDEOS I Smile Because YES I Dearly Enjoy Older Trucking Aspect. At Same Time I Love How You Invite Into Your World Of Annabella/Jamie/Chickens and Work you do around Where you live. I Was Born In 1946 and enjoy EVERYTHING From 1950 to and thru 1970"s.

This was a most interesting video I like learning the different changes they made. Thanks Rick.

I been a subscriber since you first got homer the tow truck. You keep doing what your doing. Jamie and yourself are awesome👍

love to see the progress on the barn and boomer 2

From Holt Missouri, Years ago I had a 1959 Chevy short bed, don't remember the model but it had a 283 V8 and a converted 3 on the tree to a backward floor shift. Been watching your show for just over a year and enjoying it very much.

Rick, Its your channel do what you do loyal viewers enjoy everything!

Awesome!!! I give thanks to God for everything I can think of!!!

I learned something new today! Really looking forward to the GMC version! Thank you!

Love watching your videos Love Watching Annabelle inspect the trucks she seems to know what she's doing and those that don't want hear about God will wish they had listened one day God bless you and your family brother hope all goes well stay safe 🙏 🙏🙏

As you know, ive been a big fan of CTR since way back in the chicken farm days. I started watching these videos because i myself thru the yrs have rescued about every old truck i could get my hands on. Sorry to say most have been scraped but i still enjoy the hunt and thrill i still get from landing some old car or truck. I think some people try thier damnedest to criticize or condem anyone for anything they dont agree with. So i would just like to say LETS ALL LIVE AND LET LIVE, TRY TO BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER. and HAVING LOVE FOR THE LORD IS A GOOD THING.

Great video, thanks Rick and good to hear that you are selling some of your trucks, you got a lot of projects, it is a lot for one person to look after.

Thanks Rick 👍 Very good information on how to tell those years of trucks apart. 👍

One of the best videos you have put out in a while keep up the good work.

Thanks Rick great info, I'm looking forward to the GMC video too (like im bestest). Luv all your critters, Annabella et al.

Rick your content is perfect and family friendly what more can viewers ask for . Keep safe and keep being thankful to the Lord. Peace Out.

Enjoyed your Chevy truck identification video. Looking forward to the GMC one.

Your property is like Old Truck Paradise! You should give tours and charge a few bucks! Better than Disney World LOL...Thank you for all the info, I have a 49 3100, this video taught me ALOT!

What an Absolutely Fantastically Awesomeness Video! Thank YOU for sharing. ...and... Thank You for Thanking GOD!

Very good information on your video sir, I own a 1957 chevy 3600 4x4 I learned a few things about these trucks, thank you and God bless you!

Love, love, love all your content. Trucks, cars, property, animals and especially praising God. Keep it up Rick!

I'm a big Mopar guy but I do enjoy your videos and I like the trucks you pick up

Facinating and very informative. Great video, thanks for sharing. I'd love a 55 one day. God Bless

Don't anyone ever say that dog's can't climb trees. 😉 Keep making your videos just like you do. I love you, Jamie, Annie-B, Jet, God, and all of your trucks. I will always watch your videos no matter what the content is. I learn something every time I watch. My dad always told me, sit down and listen, you might learn something. He was right. By the way, I hope Lou is doing well. Send him love and good thoughts. Lord knows we could use some good thoughts about now.

Rick this is a awesome source of information. I am just getting into the Task Force trucks and this guide is super helpful. I know this is a couple years old but still priceless.

Thanks for a great video, very informative. I have several 1958 Chev and GMC trucks so I appreciated your candid input. I will stay tuned and give a thumbs up. Tom

Very nice and educational. Always wondered about the different hood emblems. Thank you..

Love your work Rick. You are so informative.

Hi Rick and Jamie, I'm from the UK me and wife (Cathy) have been following you for quite a few years now, like most of Europe, we are not really religious. but we understand you are and it doesn't matter to us, we just enjoy watching and seeing the progress you are making on the place, really want to see the Barn/workshop finished, and then watch you guys start to build a home there. wish you all the best for the future, keep going my friend.

Thanks for the great video! Another fender variation for 55-57 trucks was the 8100 fenders, which in addition to the side bulge, had an extra ~2” flare.

Hey Rick hey Jamie I just wanted to wish y'alla Happy Valentine's day and hopefully many more to come so y'all stay safe now and God bless

It was a great video I haven't seen one in a long time that's great thanks for the knowledge Hope you and Jamie are safe God-bless

looking forward to seeing you're barn getting along enough to use one side for projects 😀

Wealth of knowledge. Thank you.

Great information the facts you discussed was very interesting now know difference of the trucks.thank you .keep up the great videos .stay safe.

Rick, you just keep uploading everything! I don't really care if its a story about a crack you found in your pot seat. (Only joking but you get where I'm going) I love hearing about everything that's happening at the ctr from Lou (especially Lou) to the shop build the trucks/cars and your bike, not enough there in my opinion but I'm a biker. Annabella the river the whole lot. Keep it coming my man, and thanks for sharing your life's adventures with us. Best wishes from God's own country, Yorkshire in the United Kingdom.

Awesome information Rick especially for Truck enthusiasts

Great video, still learning, you showed a few things I never new about, proud owner of 57 cameo, & 4 other 55 * 57 pickups, got them back in the when they were affordable

WOW !!! That was alot of info. to take in. But it was amazing. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to the next video. 👍✌

Excellent video, R ! Thank you !

Wow what a wealth of knowledge you have sir, thanks I really enjoyed your video. The 55 3100 is still my favourite I think.

Not religious myself, but i appreciate you and your dedication to this history as well as your modest dedication to your faith. Thanks!

Your house your rules !! Keep up the great work !!!!! Love it !!!

I enjoy this video Rick thanks

Hey Rick keep doing what your doing i really enjoy it CTR Rocks.

If I may not cal you an GMC expert, may I then call you a GMC Goeroe? Love this channel 👍💖

Very informative video Rick. Though I never intend to own one, I love the history and knowledge you share. I love your channels content, and what you and Jamie have done with the property. While I believe everyone should be free to voice their opinion, even net trolls....., if someone doesn't like it, then don't watch. I hope you don't change a thing, except post more!!!! Thanks CTR and God Bless.

Thanks for the education of chevy trucks I found it very interesting keep up the good work I look forward to the next video

Amen my friend and annabel is so sweet a little star. Always love watching her

A Ton of information I never knew...very helpful.

Look forward to watching your videos so educating brightens up my my day keep them coming and god bless you and best wishes from me incthe 🇬🇧 pps give the truckmaster general a hug from me ❤

A VERY informative video. Now I know the differences between, say, a 55 and a 56 just by the fender emblems. By The Way, NAPCO was located in Indianapolis, IN where I live. Keep up the great videos, Rick.

I will probably never get to see these American trucks/cars in person so thanks to CTR for your vijao. God bless CTR from Yorkshire England🙏.

Wow just found this one glad I did !!!! Awesome just awesome !!!!! Say hi to papa Lou mom family and everyone for me brother and little sister

I love your videos Rick and hello to you and Jamie keep up the good work

Thank you for taking the time, very informative.

Learned a bunch! Thanks

I know they're not the most desired years but the 58 and 59 just look like they mean business, love em

I love this! Just got a '57 3200 with the 235 and 3 on the tree. I am in love.

Great information thanks Rick peace out God bless

I enjoyed it to Rick, as always love your videos, I love the spirit of the videos that you do, andGod bless you and Jamie, in my book you guys are awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing I wouldn’t change a thing, that’s why am here watching, peace and chicken grease. Well tell next time

Thanks for the history lesson!

When you presented the correct placements of the side emblems for the 1957 chevy, in which direction they should face, I got nervous. I said to myself let me check the pictures of my truck thats on my phone. Because right now I am out of town! And sure enough my emblems are on backwards Lol The shop that installed them did it over 5 years ago! I guess no one is the wiser. I have never been corrected until today Lol. Thankyou for the lesson. I'm not going to correct it, but if someone does correct me, I will admit fault, then thank him/ her, then tell them, I did it on purpose, because I like the look! Lol!! ; ) Nice channel!! and " Good Day To You Sir"

Very interesting! Thanks all the effort, knowledge and experience you share with us and for making and uploading this side-by-side comparison of the ‘55 to ‘59 Chevy trucks. From your comments at the beginning of the video, I assume you’ve received quite a lot of nasty comments. I for one appreciate your calm and benign bearing and your kind words regarding animals. I hope you get as much joy out 0f making your videos, as I and surely many other get from watching them. Keep ‘em coming. By the way, I’m watching and subscribed from Germany.

Nice seeing ya Rick !

Thank you for the videos very much enjoyed GOD IS GOOD

Very informative! Thank you.

While waiting on your next video I fell back on watching science fiction and then a classic truck, a Chevy Longhorn pops up. That’s a biggun.

Rick, thanks for taking the time to go over this with us. I am sure many of us will refer back to it for future reference. Looking forward to the GMC version of this. Yeah, we all know your bias towards the GMCs lol. If only the dashes wear reversed Id be right there with ya. The "pie" shaped speedometer of the Chevys puts them above just about any other truck on the planet. Ever. In my option.

Thanks for the video sir sure do love that old iron, just wish I could afford one. As always be safe. Peace.🇺🇸

I've never heard the term blue chip truck before. I'm already learning and the video is just starting!

Excellent ⭐️

Great job, ILove your truck collection, ❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters

Loved these videos

I really appreciate the information you shared in your video which describes the differences with the different years of the Task Force trucks. I have learned a great deal from this and many of your other videos about these classic trucks. Regarding the varying fender trim emblems 3100, 3200, etc., (one piece or split) and their placement location on the fender (below or above fender ridge line) is very helpful to know. There was also a V-8 fender emblem available for V-8 engine trucks that was situated on the fender just below the 3100 fender trim emblem as an example. I wonder if you might let me know the location of where the V-8 fender emblems should precisely be mounted on the fender in relation to the standard fender trim emblems which denotes series....3100, 3200, etc. I know they went somewhere below the standard fender trim. I have a V-8 in my Task Force truck and want to add these V-8 emblems but not sure where they go on the fenders. I have seen some Task Force trucks with the V-8 emblems that were situated all over the place on different vehicles. I prefer to place the V-8 fender emblems where Chevrolet placed them when the truck rolled off the assembly line. If you know this information I would really appreciate knowing this. Thank you again for sharing your insightful knowledge of the 1955-1959 Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Perhaps the best built American trucks ever made.

Rick, what an informative video. We have a 59 that we use as a mobile bar in Brisbane Australia. Have subscribed to your channel.

Informative and entertaining

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Your videos are very informative, and I know you didn't go into alot of detail as you said on the video. I'm interested in the history of the 336 CI Pontiac motors that were installed in the GMCs. Thanx Jjay

Great information, thank you.

That was Very interesting Rick, also I found out that the cameo truck was the beginning inspiration for the El Camino followed after by Ranchero"s.and so on ..!
