Early-1940's Chevrolet. Here's a familiar one from the same period that's a little lighter: /vehicle_244738-Chevrolet-11-2-Ton-1946.html -- Last edit: 2012-12-02 17:18:19 |

It looks a little too light to be a two-ton. I suppose call it a 1-1/2-ton. |

1½-ton and 2-ton models shared the same 134" (3.40 m) and 160" (4.06 m) wheelbases. But there was no 2-ton models for the pre-war 1941-42 MY. A stake truck for sure, but as there is nothing visible to tell the difference between Art Deco model years, this one is at least a: ⇒ 1941 Chevrolet 1½-Ton Stake -- Last edit: 2014-11-28 00:45:10 |

The wheelwells do look big enough for it to be a 2-ton. |

 And my previous comment: 1½-ton and 2-ton models shared the same 134" (3.40 m) and 160" (4.06 m) wheelbases. But there was no 2-ton models for the pre-war 1941-42 MY. −− The wheel wells are big because... they are 1941-42 heavy-duty / 1946-47 medium- and heavy-duty wheel wells (the 1½-ton moved from heavy- to medium-duty category for the 1946 and 1947 "1st-Series" model years). 1946+ 1½-Ton, "1½-Ton Special" and 2-ton models share the same wheelbases, cabs, bodies. In fact all their specs are identical, except of course for payload. And for the pickup, panel and canopy models, which don't exist with the "1½-Ton Special" and 2-ton trucks. The only external (i.e. visible) differences between the 1½-ton and the "Special" / 2-ton trucks: the tires (0.5" to 1.75"/1.27 to 4.4 cm wider for the bigger trucks) and the bed of stakes and platforms (4.3"/11 cm higher, but compared with the 1½-ton truck equipped with the smallest possible tires)... For all details, see page 40 to 99 in the 1946 Chevrolet Truck Data book for Chevrolet salesmen (Pdf, 189 pages, 350 Mb). In short, I really wonder how someone can tell the difference between the two models with just the pictures we usually have... And as also said in the previous comment, there is almost no external hint to says a model year over another with Art Deco trucks (different link than above), thus the "default" 1941 MY... But I must acknowledge I made a small mistake in this identification: the official name given to this truck by Chevrolet in 1941 was in fact Heavy-Duty Stake (with the hyphen). See page 21 of the 1941 brochure (Pdf - 28 Mb). I know the Heavy-Duty name is somewhat unloved, but as it was used on the brochures??? ⇒ 1941 Chevrolet Heavy-Duty Stake? -- Last edit: 2014-12-02 02:21:36 |

Farm truck boxes with the boards close enough to hold grain are usually built independently of the truck builder. |

The stake doesn't look like the "official" one indeed. But how should we call these bodies then? Handmade stake on a Platform model basis? |

I usually just identify the motorized chassis and not the body. |
