Is it a GM product of the early sixties?

There is a GM connection, but nothing to do with the sixties.

It looks completely restored, with newly-made parts. Is it a 1947 Chev truck 'advertising' a restoration service?

You are thinking in the right direction. It is a Chevy truck, not exactly from 1947, but nearby, and it has been completely done. I wouldn't call it just a restoration though.

Is it a 1948 model which has been manufactured from scratch, using original and new parts? A bit like Jaguar's 'new' E-types for the mega-rich? ;)

The base is still a bit younger and the maker calls it a re-engineering job.

Most likely a mid-to-late 1947, then, but after a long search, I have no idea who is responsible for this lovely re-engineering project. :(
