Default S/M 6505

That's another unknown [to me] British contract! The truck is a D60S/DD, with the Eaton 2-speed rear axle, Model T-110-L-13, and from the sequential batch # 91,162,456 to 91,166,033, with the other 91,175,004 to 91,177,103 both '1941-45' produced.

I assume that the truck, as with a known 1945 Model Chevrolet that may still be in a scrapyard in Canada, that it was a late war build that was shipped to England, and then claimed by the Canadian commission at war's send and then shipped back to Canada. However, on reflection this sounds rather suspect as it was not a Canadian contract but British..it could have therefore been a post-war demob and sale after refurb by the Chrysler plant in Kew.
