Hi bolters, here is Simon from Québec city, Canada,i ve just buy 1934 chevy 1.5 ton found in a barn here in the province of Québec, it was abandonned in the early 1960. the cab is solid, sheetmetal near perfect,the old 207 engine runs and the truck is in a remarquable shape in comparaison that we found normally here in Québec. its a model build here in Canada at the Oshawa plant called the maple leaf trucks, i c ant found any inscription or nameplate, just the plate: 10500 gross weight, 3450weight i c ant decode the v.i.n. plate with U.S. built decoding tables, anyone knows canadian-built early chevrolets ? very merry Christmas and happy new year ! Simon

Hi Simon, 3B out in Chilliwack knows a lot more than I do, he may even have one. I thought that Maple Leaf trucks were heavier than 1.5 tons.

Hy ten, Maple Leaf trucks were 2 1/2 ton and Three ton trucks. In 1939 and newer the three ton trucks were powered by GMC full precision bearinged engines. The 1600 series trucks were the 2 1/2 ton trucks and the 1700 series were the 3 tons, hope that helps.

thanks, the model is 118X, trim 99,serial 629764, paint 1426 (red in color with black fenders)body serial 852, engine t4386256 if these numbers means something... thanks for your interest !

Try here for some info Canadian trucks looks like '34 is mmissing, but near years may help?
Sorry but my books start at '48.
Good luck and congratulations though!
