I have the 1940 GMH NASCO parts book . The front cover of the book states "SPECIALLY COMPILED FOR THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH MILITARY FORCES" . The book is for sedans and trucks
The 1940 Chevrolet truck was series 13, 14, 15.
1940 Maple Leaf was series 16 - diff ratio was 7.16 to 1
1940 CHEVROLET
Basically, the model 14 had a 133" wheelbase
The model 15 was 158 1/2" wheelbase ( yours ? )
15-40 ES Chassis and cab with special 12 X 7 GS Wagon with canopy top - Standard truck chassis fitted single rear wheels 5.20 X 6 pierced disc wheels . rear axle ratio 6.166 to 1
