Re: 55-56-57?

Google images for the different years. Basic difference is the grille, hood and fender trim. Cab and beds are the same. Mechanically they are the same. I assume you are talking about 55-2nd edition not the Advanced Design 55. GMC has different front clips and dash too.

Get a catalog (or view their online one) from LMC at http://www.lmctruck.com/

I have found their pictures and diagrams invaluable.

Their parts list indicates if the part is year specific or the range of years.

jim-bob if you look at page 10 of the lmctruck they have some info about the differences. The biggest are the grill and the emblems on the hood and fenders. The 57 also has a different hood.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
