Looks like a '28 LP series to me, going by the 4 wheel brakes.

Sports a 1927 radiator shell. Tag says NATIONAL = 1927. Sometimes this info does not work for trucks, sooooooo!

I agree with Al and respectfully disagree with Ray.
The Capitol series in 1928 (1 ton trucks) had the LO for the first half of '28 (no front brakes) and the LP in the second half with front brakes. I believe they both used the same '27-style steel radiator shell.
Another clue is the headlight rims. Those in the picture are '28's.
So, I think the ID tag is correct: Capitol.
The '28 National trucks were 1/2 ton trucks built on the AB chassis.
Cheers, Dean

Sports a 1927 radiator shell. '28 heavy trucks used '27 style steel radiators and Superior style fenders. Al

Definitely a 1928 Capitol LP series 1 ton truck,but the mudguards(fenders)are different to the passenger car ones.

Looks to be a late '28 LP series truck. Has four wheel brakes. Only produced the last month or so of '28 truck production. They used a '27 style steel radiator shell and retained the Capital series name. Those are not common and sought after by some of the truck guys.

So this is a late 1928 LP series, 1 Ton. Does it have a model? Is this a Model 490?

The model designation of your truck is:
1928 Capitol LP Series 1 Ton Utility Express
Got one the same,but with an Australian body.

I'm not sure about the "Utility Express" tag. I think any designation like that would depend on the body and they could be bought as a cab and chassis, with the body being built by a specialized builder.

Get hold of either an original or re-print 4cyl Master Parts book mate and you'll find it in there.

The model designation of your truck is:
1928 Capitol LP Series 1 Ton Utility Express As near as we can tell this has been parked in this barn for 62 years. The title has long since been lost. Hence we are applying for a replacement title and the form asks for: Year: 1928 Make: Chevrolet Model: (15 characters wide) Body Type: Truck Color: Black?
