Jason must have slipped that Jan 13 1942 one in when I was looking for my March plates. Here's a Nov 7 1941 Cab 12 so we have it narrowed down to within 67 days. Does anyone else have any in between?

After that last post I remembered these Nov 11 41 trucks so we're down to between Nov 11 1941 and Jan 13 1942.

The Infoex lists a 13 cab Ford F15a that was owned by Harry Salens with a build date of 1942/02/15 but no serial or engine number is recorded.

The database on the Canadian Register website includes the following examples with relevant dates.
Late 12 cab Chevys: No. 42 Cab Chev Portee, Model 8440X2 fitted with a 7G1 body, located in Leics, UK. Build date: Nov 21 - 1941 Chassis number: 1844031825 Engine number: 3742886 Contract: SM2028 Registration number: CL4595318 Late 12 cab Fords: No. 12 Cab F8 WIRE. Located in Essex, UK. Build date: Nov 13 - 1941 Chassis number: 21825 Engine number:2G-49525-F Contract: SM2014 No. 12 Cab F8 GS. Located in Devon, UK. Build Date: Nov 17 -1941 Chassis number: 21922 Engine number: 2G-49764-F Contract: SM392 The Database on the OLD CMP website contains the following: No. 13 Cab Ford F60s 448M. Located at a Sawmill in Daylesford, Aust. Build Date: Mar 13 -1942 Chassis number: 37206 Engine number: 3G-19676-F Contract: SM2104 So the Ford changeover was between November 17, 1941 and March 13, 1942 (I am a hesitant to include the Salens truck dated February 15, 1942 without any supporting serial number information), and the Chev change was between November 21, 1941 and January 13, 1942. Does anyone else have numbers that could narrow the changover windows down?

Aussie Gas-2
I was impressed by the data off the January 1942-build Gas-2! That is the earliest known (to me) 1942 MODEL C60L, and was clearly an Oshawa build for the Canadian Government and not a) a Ministry of Supply order for Australia and b) a Holden-assembled truck.
I agree at the moment with the suggested dates, but early January 1942 as fars as GM is concerned is in my opinion spot-on. Windsor however may have been slightly earlier or later, and may even have mixed cabs on the lines depending on chassis: see Dr Gregg's book with both types in the plant.
