Chevrolet 1533X2 30-cwt trucks

Here a pic of a 1533 cowl

On the civvy trucks the one tons and smaller had the fenders with the small wheel openings. The ton and a half trucks had either the small or large openings. The two tons and larger had the large openings. The military trucks likely all used the large openings to clear the military tires. The military wheels were offset more than the civvy ones so gave a wider track.
The 40 and 41 trucks had the narrower grille with the headlights mounted beside the radiator. The 42 and newer trucks had the headlights mounted on top of the fenders.
All the trucks from half ton on up used the same frame dimensions from under the cab to the front bumper. So did the C8 and C15 two wheel drives. The heavier trucks used thicker material in the frame and some had doubling plates on the outside of the frame rails.

Yes, I see, about the wheels openings, there is no question.

I am not sure about Canadian built, but the US commercial range had the new waterfall grill design, with new headlights position, since 1941. As for the truck with the popped headlights in the previous post, I have no information at all.

The Candian production had the same grill as the US one.

You will find the headlights have been replaced probably at the time the roof was removed from the closed cab body.
