Thank you gentlemen,
This is a strange truck, it looks like a thirties cab, that is what caught my eye in the first place. I'm beginning to think that this is a do it yourself vehicle from the forties, build with what was available. There are almost too many gauge's on the dash for a late twenties truck. (Opinion of a non specialist = me ) A hectic period ahead, which will prevent me to go back there till Wednesday, the earliest, some times a job gets in the way of everything

. Steel fenders and a wooden side step (?) might be a clue; the Muncie transmission was used by Chevrolet, but no such cabs for a Chevrolet till the end of the thirties. I'll have to go back and take a longer, better look at it, now I want to know.
Thank you for your help and time
To Ol' GMC, about 6 hours straigth South of you, Lethbridge, then head South over the #3 turn East on the 501 and after 30 miles you're getting real close
I'll report here as soon as I have "good" pictures of the engine and I have been able to search for more clues.
