Aussie chev truck
 

I saw a chev truck with the remains of camo paint that I need to identify. The cab has holden body stamps on it, and one plate reads; chev cab. mk1. full door cab.
The grill is a farmers mod, has a 216 motor, 3 pressed lines across the roof,
2 across the top of the doors, a complete dropside wood tray and headlight mounted off the bonnet front, the side windows are very round.
Any ideas on a year or model.

photos would help
two stripes on the door would indicate roughly 1935 to 1939 model
in 1940 they went to single stripe mostly
holden body stamps means it is australian bodied does it look like this one at all ?
this one is a 1938 model with an american body .aussie ones do have three roof pressings

Holdens made the 3 ribbed roof cab from 36 to 38 , these cabs were shared to Bedfords, Chevys and the Oldsmobile trucks of that era. The pic looks like a 1938 Chev to me , the 37 had the vertical bar grill . A new ribless cab was released for the 39 model trucks and it was unique as it used the 1936 ? passenger car style round instruments . For 1940 Holdens modified the 39 cab slightly and went to the ubiquitous Chevy instrument panel that 'salesman Bob' knows so well , that cab lasted til 47 .

re chev truck
 

Front fenders are the same, cab very different. This truck has the old style round instruments in the centre of the dash.

1934 model is about the earliest with the twin door rib
1933 had 3 ribs
does it look like any of these ?
these are all american models but are similar to look at
first is a 34 second a 36 and third a 37
holden bodied would suggest 36 to 38 having the triple roof pressing as mike has stated

this is an australian holden bodied cab with the triple roof pressing
cab common through 36 to 38
This one is a 38 .This model is unique in its grille cowling with the forward protrusion near the top on the sides

Thanks Mike and Andrew.
The previous post pic, that's the beastie, same protrusions near the lights and very rounded side windows. Thanks.

congratulations
1938 then
In my opinion one of the best looking models
Pick it up if you can
Post a few pics too
originally should look something like this -except with a centre grille emblem and mould
:cheers:
