A friend sent me this info about this truck.:
AUSTRALIA. LORRIES, 3-TON G.S.
(AUSTRALIAN). "MAPLE LEAF"
CHEVROLET.
THREE-QUARTER FRONT
VIEW, RIGHT SIDE. I had thought that
Maple Leaf
trucks were manufactured in
Canada and assembled in Australia or
other
Commonwealth Countries. If go
the War Memorial site
and copy the
numbers 127768 into the top right-hand
"search" box it
will take you to the link
with the truck's photo.
On the firewall of my truck it has a
Holden emblem and says it was built
in
Australia in 1940. It has quarter-vent
windows in the doors and
vents in the
side wall of the cab located roughly
between the seat and
the firewall. Is
this truck which is a modified
version
of the Chevrolet Truck that was built
in Australia still
classed as a
"Maple Leaf" truck.
My understanding is that 'Maple Leaf'
Chevrolet trucks were the export model
made in Canada in the 1930's.
