Chassis Number Location

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Imported Canadian trucks had the data on one plate on the firewall, whereas Holden-assembled sometimes used the GM of Canada plate (a blank) which they stamped and added under the hood: possibly on the firewall as well There might also be a Holden's plate as well..not sure where on military trucks but sometimes located on a wheel well.

G'day Dave,

Thanks for the information - I was hoping that somewhere on the Chassis there were actually stamped numbers which were then reproduced on the firewall plate.

Kind Regards
Lionel

I was reserving my comments about that! It is possible that Holdens did stamp the number on the frame, when assembled. Future locations (by the American plants) suggest it was stamped on the chassis on the 'risers'. It may need a good look with a dentist's mirror and something to clean off grime...but perhaps someone in Oz can suggest if you are barking up a gumtree on this one?

G'day David,

Thanks for your informatiion, I appreciate it. Could you give me some hint where the "risers" would be on a truck as I am not familiar with the term?

Kind Regards

You might try the highest poitns of the frame.

I have a complete list of all 1940 Chev/ML and GMC Canadian models if required by chassis length.
