     Boy winky, you are glutton for punishment aren't you.  LOL  ;D
     That truck is a 1947 - 1955 truck, if it is a true 3600 it will be a 3/4 ton truck.  To read up on the differences by year on the Chevrolet Advance Design Series, that link will give you the differences from year to year if any to look for.
     Chevrolet task force was the successor to the advance design series, also called the second series if you want to see the difference between the two styles of trucks.
     My wife want a 53 or 54 one day to drive around on the weekends.  Good luck and keep us posted.

     If you do not care about keeping original, I think it is different.  That is my biggest problem, I always build my vehicles so that they are the only one out there.  I like different, and hate as I always say "being a sheep, in line with all the other sheep, being led off to slaughter". 
     So I like it, a lot of people will say sacrilegious.
