Your memory of the Chevy pickup design change is pretty darned good. The change actually took place in mid-1955 when the "Second Series" or simply "1955.2" appeared. It dropped the rounded styling of the '49-55.1 pickups in favor of automotive styling. The only obvious design differences between the '55.2 and the '56 were cosmetic, with a slightly different hood ornament in '56 and placement of the 3100/3600 model designation a little higher on the front fenders. The '57 got different hood and grill treatment, and the '58 and '59 went to dual headlights. I bought my '55.2 around 1970 for $25 from a guy who planned to haul it to the junkyard the next week. It was crap. I went through it thoroughly, including adding a rebuilt '60 four-barrel 283, rust repair, new bed floor, new interior, fresh paint, dula exhausts, wide Mickey Thompsons on a '56 car rearend, etc. , and it was pretty nice at the time. Today, I still have it sitting in one of my sheds, sadly needing another thorough going-through to be road-worthy. So many projects, so little time!
