My name is Davis and Recently i got chance to get a Chevy art deco truck here in India. But while going through inspection i found that it has some remains of its original olive drab color.May be it was used in a war.Its a 1.5 ton truck .Kindly guide me on this which model is this.In India when there is a British rule we have a GMC assembly line here in India(Bombay Sewree Plant).And these small.medium and big trucks built here (right hand drive) May be on Canadian Type. i think for common wealth countries during war and after that for commercial purpose.These truck where called "Bombay Chevrolet" here in India.

Welcome to the chat site. I am most pleased to hear from you in India. I am located in Mississippi, USA. You can look on top of the doors for the color it was painted. Looking on the top of the passenger door when in the open position is a good place to see original color. Especially if the truck has not be re-painted in the past. Look at other areas that are not exposed to the weather or that are likely not to receive painting over. It looks like you have discovered the original "olive drab" paint.

Notice that it does not have doors.
The engine casting number is not a US number.

The block casting number is listed in the Canadian database as a 1940 number. The listing shows it being used in Pontiacs. I will do some more searching.I have the database as a word file if you would like a copy.

Yes its a Canadian truck but still dont have much info on net .
Kindly help me in this to determining the correct year

Yes Its Canadian...:)

Thank you I don't find any Data plates there some remains of olive drab color.:)
