Mike thanks for the added info. It seems that Lionel needs to measure the wheelbase on his truck to see exactly which one it is but was he surmising that the truck was a Maple Leaf because of the AWM photo caption? I suspect it is a plain Chev as the photos you have put up of the truck show that the mudguards are not cut out and it has civilian type wheels. These were probably changed when it entered civilian life after the war due to a lack of 18inch tyres but with the guards not cut out it may never have been fitted with the 18inch wheels. Still quite a rare beast and well worth having regardless though.
