About the GMC
Hi All
The misinterpreting GMC as being General Motor Company instead of General Motors of Canada Limited is fairly common I've run into it when registering my trucks I write it out as General Motors of Canada on the form they type it in as GMC which is misread as being General Motor Company. So the person painting the sign may very well have meant General Motors of Canada Limited but saved paint 25 letters. Cheers Phil

chevy
These trucks were also made post WW2 so it can be confusing identifying them .
That example does not have a GMH Aust. made cab , but GMH did assemble US made cabs during WW2 , imported as lend lease . GMH manufactured those particular style Chevy cabs from 1939 til 47 . The military light switch on that truck looks to be a later add on accessory , it is new switch to my eyes . The plate above the light switch has GAS AUX MAIN on it, implying it is a Nth American built truck . We use petrol not gas , my car runs on gas LPG ! Mike

As has been stated, This is an american truck built under a U.S. army contract. Your average GMC CCKW 353 etc (a family which boasts about 3/4 of a million trucks built during wwII) has "GAS" written inside its petrol guage.
