In 1956, the Task Force designation was applied to Chevrolet's panel trucks as well. Chevrolet offered a sedan delivery version based on the existing car platform, as well as a larger version on the truck-based Suburban. The three-door Carryall Suburban was highly popular among tradesmen. By the close of the decade, suburbanites saw the Suburban as a viable alternative to traditional station wagons, especially when there was the need to tow a trailer. Equipped with Chevy's all-conquering small-block V-8, the sedan delivery models offered class-leading capabilities, proving extremely popular with hot rodders years later.

In 1959, Chevrolet introduced the El Camino pickup. Based on the full-size Chevrolet Impala chassis, it was the natural extension of the Cameo Carrier concept, with passenger car amenities (especially in the interior) and a useful pickup bed. The first-generation, full-sized El Camino and its sedan delivery counterpart were offered just for the 1959 and 1960 model years; it was reintroduced in 1964 on the intermediate Chevelle chassis. The car offered an unrivaled combination of style and practicality until its discontinuation at the end of the 1987 model year.
