Anyone have any info on the 58-59 fleet model truck?

Information about what exactly?
Brain trust here is huge, so give a little more to go on.

Is it as rare as they say it is? This one looks to be all original. I’m not sure want motor is in it. The guy wants $10k for it. I’ve never seen one so I was just curious

It's one eyed, with a ribbed hood, should be a 57. Just an "EWAG" V-8 or 6, 3 on the tree or 4 speed with a "granny' 1st gear, or automatic?

You never know what's under the paint, look for rust in the usual places. Good luck

Fleet options were only available in 58/59. They used the dual headlight fenders but with a single headlight for the fleet option.
Heres a link to some more info I found doing a basic google search

Yes, GMC offered this fleet option as a low cost alternative. Chevy did not offer a fleet option in this configuration.

Interesting- we have a 58-59 GMC in a local yard that had the fleet option grill and bumper (they are now in my garage

), but with the quad headlights and nothing that would suggest that the combination wasn't factory original?
