I have been rummaging thru boxes of old Chevy truck manuals and I found a thick version of a "Chevrolet and GMC TRUCK Parts Catalogue 1949-1955 Series 11 to 18 and 91 to 98 Chassis and Commercial Body {Catalogue No. 425 March 1955, Printed in Canada}"
I just noticed that this Canadian Chevrolet & GMC Manual is as thick as my USA 1929-53 Master Parts Manual but it is entirely for AD trucks (no passenger cars). It's over 800 pages thick. The diagrams and truck pictures look a bit more detailed than my USA Master Parts version.

Was there an Advance Design Parts Catalog for the USA trucks like this one available (ie minus the passenger cars)?

hi Soggy,
i would absolutely love to have a scan of all the pages in that catalog, there is so little information online pertaining to the Canadian versions of these AD trucks
is there anyway we could make this happen?
please feel free to private message me, i'm willing to do the scanning to convert to PDF

I have a similar parts manual, Catalogue No. 402. It is for '39 to '53 Chev and GMC trucks printed in Canada, and is about 625 pages in length.

The thing I like best is the diagrams. There are very detailed blow-ups and cut-aways showing how pretty near everything goes together.
