Who was it, that posted pictures of a couple of Advance Design Maple Leaf Trucks, a few years ago.

Hy Spanky and guys, I don't know who posted the pictures, but they would look just like a Chevrolet with a rectangular plaque near the cowl end of the hood, and Motor wheels [5 hole]. Hope that helps, by the way I have a 50 Maple Leaf 3 ton, the last year they were made.

There was a posting of a Maple Leaf that was going to be crushed. I think that the word "saved" was used in the posting. Maybe this will help you with the search function.

Hey 3B

Just wanted to confirm your Mapleleaf is 1950?

Not sure what the last year for them was as I

have a 1952 Chevy Mapleleaf, 3 ton, Model 1700,

with a GMC 270 engine, a PTO and an Edbro hoist.

Truck is original

Hy Terry M. and spanky, My research on the Maple Leaf lead me to believe that 1950 was the last year for the Maple Leaf. I have a 51 1700 with G.M.C. 248 power which is not identified as a Maple Leaf, however the 1700 series continued to be G.M.C. powered and positive ground until the 55A series. Spanky I'm not the computer literate one in my family, but I'll track down some pics. and see if the computer guru can post them for you.
