Some are listed as 4400: /vehicles_make-Chevrolet_model-4400.html

This has a medium-length wheelbase, and it's a 1 1/2 ton truck, so that would make it a 4400. And being a "Task-Force" truck, that makes it a Viking 4400.

This truck has a 1955-57 grille:

1955 // 1956 (Click...)

It also have a 1956-57 hood emblem. But the fender emblem is the "1956 only" one.

And the Viking name came only with the 1958 my. So it cannot be one.

About the 4400 id and the "medium length wheelbase", according to TrucksPlanet.com:
4100 - 1.5-ton model with 130-inch wheelbase.
4400 - 1.5-ton model with 154-inch wheelbase.
6100 - 2-ton model with 130-inch wheelbase.
6400 - 2-ton model with 154-inch wheelbase.
8100 - 2.5-ton model with 132.5-inch wheelbase.
8200 - 2.5-ton model with 144.5-inch wheelbase.
8400 - 2.5-ton model with 154.5-inch wheelbase.
10400 - 3-ton model with 156.5-inch wheelbase.

And all look quite similar (Ok, not for the 10400, which seems to have a double rear axle):

4400 / 6400 / 8400 trucks (click...)

One can see the medium- and the heavy-duty trucks have a slightly different grille, and the one of the Tv-series has a medium-duty one. But what detail help us to see whether it is a 4100 / 6100 (1½ton / 2-ton - 130-inch wheelbase both) or a 4400 / 6400 (1½ton / 2-ton - 154-inch wheelbase both) truck?

It's always the same problem with Chevrolet trucks: same cab, almost same chassis, but a lot of available payloads and so a lot of possible names...
So wouldn't it be wiser to just call it a 4100, i.e. the lower possibility?

1956 Task-Force (4100?)
