John,

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures!
It's always good to see new period pictures of 8cwts, especially these, as they are Chevrolet C8's cab 11's with cab vents, which makes them late 1940 production, just like mine....who knows, maybe one of them is mine.

I do note that one or two pictures are mirrored.....not from your scan, but obviously mirrored when developing the film in period. The picture looking into the back of the 8cwt (marked as 15cwt as mentioned by Bruce) is mirrored and one of the pictures with the trucks standing in a row is mirrored.

Well done!
