Hi Mike,
Any information such as photos and dimensions would be great!
I find it strange that these questions haven't been asked or discussed before about such a popular vehicle.
I don't recall seeing any photo's of Canadian built Chevrolets with factory fitted aero-screens. Indian built ones have them. Not sure about British assembled Chevrolet kits though, and this is the place to find out.
Photos of different manufactured aero-screens seem to follow a similar or identical set of dimensions, with a variety of different shaped glass, rounded and square designs, with a range of different heights. I assume, which is dangerous when researching this truck, that if they were produced by a Chevrolet factory or supplier, they would be a standard design across all the factories or suppliers.
The main differences between the aero-screens seems to be the hinge lock location (with Butterfly screw) and mounting plates.
Photos show the aero-screens locked at various angles, often leaning forward to prevent reflections from the sun being seen by the enemy.
Attached is the factory photo showing the 'Jeep' style windscreen supplied to all the trucks for delivery. (All photos from Chevrolet 1533X2 30-cwt trucks post)
