With a light-duty bumper indeed, so (theoretically) no more than a 1-ton 250 model. But the grille emblem doesn't help to be sure. Indirect clue: the Crown Firecoach company used such a basis to make some of its fire apparatus. The "Series" after 250 is not useful... No clue for the wheelbase, so it's impossible to give the GMC internal code. ⇒ 1957 GMC Blue Chip 250 (without "Series") -- Last edit: 2015-02-05 18:35:06
