It's about as "Down under" as it gets, I'm from the South Island of New Zealand, I need help identifying my Chevrolet Truck it's a 1 1/2 ton flat bed truck, right hand drive, single axle dual wheel, I think is a 1941 or early 42 it has what we call a Colonial Cab, that is a cab made in NZ, I have been told they imported the trucks cowl forward in 41 and made the cabs here in NZ then started to bring them in to NZ complete in 42, the doors on the NZ cabs are timber frame and have a tighter curve on the upper rear door corner, the chassis number on the original ownership papers & ID tag are XHMS 34053, I assume the model is the XHMS and the chassis number is the 34053, I think it may have come out of the Oshawa plant but would like confirmation of the production plant & year of manufacture. Engine number is BDR 15592 but original engine may have been BFR 246846, I would appreciate any help, check out the link below, thanks http://s1308.photobucket.com/user/o...pg.html?&_suid=136462297491309596283687125611

Welcome to the Hamb. I used to own a 30 Model A, CC, and Ford stopped building CCs in 36. Nice to see Chevs kept em going. Hope you have the truck ID by now Try looking up, Rusty Bowties. Cant give you a link, but its a good place for Chev info.
