I was not from the era not even close...but I probably know more about Napco history then most the people that know what Napco was...or from that era....Ive owned 4 different Napco and the one I really most wished still had was built for forestry fire...and it was a panel suburban with clam shell back doors...and completely there and as far as I know had not always kept in service but a running driving truck before I got it...and was very unique

Divorced Rockwell gear driven transfer cases....closed knuckle front ends....and where smart with...the 3rd member drop out in stock rear was used up front....the backing plates for front brakes where set up so same front brakes as 2 wheel drive...they where quite the right that could go to local Chevy dealership and buy a truck with a napco conversion dealership would have sent down to California in the beginning then started sending conversion kits out to some dealerships to do the conversions there...because of demand and shipping trucks around people would end up getting 1 yr old tnew trucks from time ordered

That's why there is a well documented 54 old gen with VIN as a 55 Napco conversion because...

The 1st truck that was Napco conversion was actually a Studebaker and was driven from dealer ships to dealer ships across the U.S. as a demo sales thing...and they where not just gm dealerships they aimed to sale that conversion

Not at all the "worlds first four wheel drive trucks", geez the Model T came in four wheel drive. These are awesome as collector items, I'd love to have an original, but who wants to drive one of these all the time? It also looks like an old body on new frame rebuild. Maybe a 90s Dodge 4x4 chassis under the old sheet metal. That's a very easy job, just swap the body, adjust everything to fit, and they already came with the 12 or 24 value Cummins. I saw another that was a Power Wagon body on a 2000s GM 4x4 truck chassis. It had the GM seats and an original looking dash with electronic gauges. Basically the same as my '03 GMC 4x4.

So i have to ask, it was mostly explained but i wanted to ask for sure. Is any amount of this truck actually off a 55-57 truck? (for the record i'm hoping you'll say they aren't, because i know of several companies that make those cabs brand new.

You Got it right, they were "converted" from a two-wheel drive, to a four-wheel-drive in that era. There are people that own those, that don't know that history.
