Chevrolet 1542 MCP

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Hello Dave, good the hear you've added an MCP truck to The Ashby Stable Of Canadian Military Vehicles. Could you share some pictures? I'd be interested to see it.

From the thread Modified Conventional Pattern Trucks I learned:

1533x2 3-ton 134 1/2" w.b. with 9.00 x 16 wheels
1542x3 3-ton 160" w.b.
1543x2 3-ton 160" w.b. with dual performance axle and 20x6 wheels and single rears

There may well be more info here on this forum. The spare parts list for the 1542X3 seems to come up for sale every now and then.

I also find the GM Heritage's center's website very useful, see https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-...tion-kits.html

And here is a "1941 Chevrolet 1543 GS (General Service) Truck" which was auctioned recently: https://worldwideauctioneers.com/lis...service-truck/. Its chassis number 4154278208 is on the data plate on the firewall, which incidentally lists it as a Model 1542. So the Chevrolet Model numbers are causing confusion.
