My name is Jim and my son-in-law and I are in the process of restoring a one and one half ton ( 1 1/2 Ton ) 1935 Chevrolet Maple Leaf Truck. We have it off its frame and all sandblasted...the motor has been re-built. Looking forward to hearing from anyone that has one of these trucks also, and to be part of the " stovebolt " family!!

There are techtips on your style of motor and if you use the search engine you will find quite a few postings, I am sure.
Where abouts in Canada are you? I am in Bracebridge Ontario. Lastly, may I say that we really enjoy pictures here so maybe you could post some of your truck.

Glad to have you. Ask your questions in the best forum and you will find answers here. Lots of knowledge and nice folks. Post some pics when you can... we know you got them  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | I second what Britcon said... talk to 3B... What Britcon didn't tell you is that Bobb has quite a few of these old Maple Leaf trucks in his shop... not sure how many he owns but I'd guess at least 1/2 dozen (at last count he had around 100 old GM trucks stored) and as Bruce says is super knowledgable... he's forgotten more than most "experts" know and if anyone can tell you what you want to know he can... he's a walking enclopedia on these things! Best of luck on your project! ~Trev | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 18 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 18 | Heel low:
Jim telephoned me today and is looking for a 1935 Leaf heat gauge, tube and plug.
Any leads?
I am waiting for my spouse to come home to see if the 1936 versions will stand in for this. We have six '36's, so if it will work with this year, we should be able to do something for him. :-D
Doggone,
