Australian Chevrolet books

[Mike K]

Another GM-H Aust. Army parts book , for 1941.

Does the book indicate that GM-H were assembling both Canadian and U.S. sourced Chev. Army trucks as early as 1941 ?

U.S. models AK AL and Y . Apparently the US model nomenclature equates to the same wheelbase of the Canadian models i.e. Canadian model 14 has a 125" wheelbase - US model AL has a 125" wheelbase.

The part number for the U.S. engine is different to the Canadian engine part number.

The larger bore 235 ci engine was a option in the U.S. in 1941 but this was still a dipper oil feed engine, not to be confused with the post-war 235 pressure feed engine.

Strangely, these 1941 GM-H truck parts books include a illustration of a 1940 sedan.
