The photos I have don't clearly indicate any more information on the model. Unfortunately the truck is a 6 hour drive away and I am hoping the next trip will be to pick it up. Any guess to the weight as is?
I take your point as to the maple leaf as a lot of US model cars came to Australia out of Canadian production plants over the years.
I would need a set of maple leaf emblems if this was the case, do you think this would be hard to find?
Any guesses to the engine size.
