Some Chevrolet measurements

[Ganmain Tony]

These are a follow up to a very old request from Cliff. Sorry I havent done these sooner Cliff.

Width of Cab from external A pillar to A pillar - 4 Feet (at top door hinge, it widens slightly to 4 ft, 3 inches).

Height of doors 3 ft, 9 inches

Width of doors 2 ft 7&1/2 inches

Bonnet width (Windscreen end) 3 ft, 11 inches

Bonnet width (Radiator end before rounded off snout) 1 ft, 7 inches

Back door pillar to rear of Cab, 7 inches

Any others Cliff, just give me a hoy...

Sizes are as close as #$%^ is to swearing... any smart arse who wants to go and check their Chevy Cab may now do so. Excludes 5 door manual and pre delivery charges, statutary charges may apply

Tony I really appreciate the time to do this for me. at 1/35 scale a few fractions of an inch out are not noticeable

If you look at my thread in the Sergeants mess forum on 1/35 scale model work you will see what these measurements will turn into one day. On a Ford kick at present but watch out for some odd ball Aussie WW2 Chevs as well soon.

G'day Tony & Cliff,

Sorry I missed the request for measurement of the Chevy. Were you after a MCP and what year?

My Chevy still has what could be an original tray base if you need some measurements for that? I do not have any tray sides to measure. If this is of any help Cliff let me know? I don't think the trays changed between the 1940 model and the later 1941-47 Art Deco style truck.

Oh the measurements will be in Metric because I don't have an Imperial tape measure.

Would you be interested in some details about the hinged windscreen?

Oh I can read the small writing too Tony

Kind Regards
Lionel

Hi Lionel,

on the windscreen the answer is yes please. On the deck width and length plus centres and size of the bearers from front to back would be good if possible. Metric or Imperial I don't mind as I convert all to 1/35 scale anyway.

All my original models are located in the Maryborough Military Museum now BTW.

G'day Cliff,

I have done a rough drawing of my 1940 MCP Chevrolet - Holdens cab tilt windscreen. However, the Manage Attachments keeps bringing up an Upload Error. Could you please PM me you email and I will email you the file.

My apologies for the quality I had to revert to Microsoft Paint after the program I usually use is not on my current computer. Then Paint refused to start a text box so I had to print the page off, then write the dimensions by hand and then scan that copy. In the meantime the quality of the graphic has declined.

This description might help you to decipher my appalling handwriting

The two vertical rectangles at the top are the hinges. The hinge is 145 mm long/high by 30 mm wide. The central vertical frame is 25 mm wide and 390 high. The length of the windscreen the tapers down towards the outside corners and finishes at a height of 370 mm. The overall width of the windscreen is 1230 mm The four corners of the windscreen a rounded off.

I have attached some close detail photographs of different parts of the windscreen.

I will start the drawing of the tray later on today.

Let me know if you need any further clarification on anything

Kind Regards
Lionel
