[...] These names were used only from 1958 until 1961. 1955-56 model, as there are no hood spears. Medium-duty front face indeed, but as usual, nothing can help to differentiate a 4100 from a 6100 nor a 4400 from a 6400, as they share cab and wheelbase. → 1955 Task-Force, with no complement nor model code.
