Thank you of the information. How are you going in Canada? The fire at Fort McMurray that forced 80k people to have an enforced evacuation just dropped off the news headlines here in Australia. There has been no follow up news about the aftermath. We currently have one of the longest running federal government election campaigns in Australia's history, and it is swallowing up a lot of air time as supposed "news". ![]() Kind Regards Lionel

Hi Lionel,
Here is the page from the Spare Part Catalogue for the 1941 Chev and Maple Leaf trucks. Don't forget that it shows the USA/Canadian left hand drive truck. Our right hand drive vehicles have the battery on the other side and an accelerator linkage going across the rear of the engine. img129.jpg If you look on the left side of the page you will see Part No. 2.028 (SHAFT) which is driven by the pedal inside the cab, is connected with 2.033 (LINK) to 2.108 (LEVER) which presses onto 2.100 (SWITCH) on top of the starter motor. Hope that this helps. By the way, be careful starting an engine that has been standing for years. Many people look at the oil on the dipstick and because it is clean looking think that the engine is in good clean condition, all that means is that the sediment and carbon which turns oil black, has settled by gravity to the bottom of the sump and could be picked up and spread through the engine causing major damage. Regards Rick.

Hello Rick,
Thank you very much for posting up the copy of the options page. They must have changed things around with the battery location in the Maple Leaf trucks. The battery in my Chevrolet Holden's built cabin is immediately below the driver's side floor. There is a cover that lifts up to allow access to the battery. From the diagram it looks like the battery is in the engine bay. Anyone know what the battery holder looks like for my truck as it is missing in action? Would the Optima series of 6 volt batteries be the right one for a 1940 216 engine? I will be getting one of those inspection scopes to have a look down each spark plug hole before attempting to start the engine. Plus drain all the oil out and put some new oil in. At the moment I pour a little diesel down each spark plug hole while the engine is sitting. Hopefully when I get the time and money to work on the truck things will be okay! Kind Regard
