Aussie Desert Chev truck
Not 1937, but an example of the Australian "Desert Chev" front bodywork. Lend-Lease vehicle, with US cab and US blackout lights.

MCP 42 Chev on Facebook Market Place Australia
Hello All,
I have no association with the seller. I just saw this on Facebook Market place https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...type=top_picks The mudguards (Fenders) have been bikini-ed and it looks like a pivoting/hinged front windscreen. So perhaps the cab has links to the military. Fortunately it is located too far away from me and I have learnt when to stop buying projects. Kind regards Lionel

Not sure
hi Dave
Hmm doesn't look military to me but the truck appears to be a wartime Lend-Lease Chev . The little military blackout lights give it away plus the single piece glass door windows. GM-H usually fitted their own stake side cargo body onto these LL trucks . Many people mistakenly refer to any 1941 to 47 Chev truck as a 'Lend-Lease' Chev. The true Lend-Lease Chev has a Nth. American cab with many detail differences to the GM-H version. The engines can differ too with the LL trucks usually having a 235ci splash motor , many of the GM-H models have the smaller 216ci motor . I had a army 1941 Chev with the GM-H cab and Aust. army nomenclature stenciled on the firewall , it had the 216 motor fitted which I am almost 100% sure was original to the truck.
