Wow The internet called it a 27. That goes to show you not to believe everything you see on the internet! I'm glad that someone in the VCCA knows what Chevrolets are.

What a lovely 1926 Utility Truck - good going. If I may ask what is the standard rim and matching tire size as the tires look a touch bulky ? Should they not be thinner to be more original ?
I ask this for I need to get new tires for my 1928 Utility 1 ton truck

Fudder, I wish that truck was mine. I had just seen that picture on Facebook and thought I would share it withy the club. Who ever owns it I would hope belongs to the VCCA, or they should be. I am kicking myself for selling the 1930 1 1/2 truck that I had like that. I was the second owner. I bought it at the original farmers estate sale. I had to out bid all his kids and grandkids to get it because they all learned to drive in it. I didn't know that I could have shown the truck as an untouched or restored vehicle. It still ran great but ever now and then the transmission would get stuck in two gears and I would have to get under it and pry on the linkage to get it going again.

The standard tyres were originally 30 X 5,which is a 6.00" X 20" tyre today.It looks like it has been fitted with 6.5" X 20" tyres all round.
