This is the picture of my truck ( on the right side) and the other one is from a friend of mine. Now I will try to start the engine, I have removed the cylinder head because he has drinks some water along Those stopped years. If someone can identify the model, with the body plate, it will be nice Γ°ΕΈΛΕ Best regards
Bonjour, Ralph! Since it appears the data plate is from a Canada-built truck, one of our members from north of the border will probably need to do some research. American and Canadian production code numbers are usually not the same. From the color of the trucks, and some of the lettering that is visible, it appears that you might be dealing with former military vehicles, possibly ones left over from WW II or shortly after. Those engines have an unusual system for lubricating the connecting rods, nothing like the engines from 1954 and newer. If you choose to remove the oil pan and work on the lower end parts, be careful to keep track of any thin metal shims between the connecting rods and the lower caps. They are important for keeping the clearance correct on the crankshaft journals. Good luck! Jerry

Hy Raph, your truck is a 1946 Chevrolet 2 1/2 ton truck with a wheelbase of 159 1/4 inches, it would have left the factory with a Chevrolet engine, hard to pin down whether it was a 216,224 or 235. I believe it should be a Chevrolet Maple Leaf
