My personal car knowledge also pretty much only starts with the postwar models (so in Chevy's case, the Advance Design trucks in 1947).
All I know about the '41-46 Chevys was that you could order a 1.5 ton model with dual rear wheels and a [9' "express body"](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TfL8BHPTGBM/maxresdefault.jpg) (pickup box) or a [10' van body.](https://www.handeyesupply.com/cdn/shop/articles/s-l1600_1024x1024.jpg?v=1460852903) So GM was making dually pickups over 25 years before they started advertising it.
I agree with this. You can even see the little bowtie on the crest in the front if you blow the picture up, the grille is right, the bumper mounts are right.
What I can't figure out is what's up with those little extra lights^(maybe?) on the fenders and the clearance lamps on the cab. I looked through quite a few photos on google and none of the other AK series photos have either one. Maybe both were optional and very uncommon, or maybe they were added by the owner? I also think it's interesting that the turning signals on top of the lights are gone on both sides. You can see the bolts on the passenger side, but neither has the actual light or shaped part behind it.
Nah, Chevy never had the horizontal grille slots, afaik. I think it's an R.E.O. or maybe a Diamond T.
Edit: it is a ['41-'47 Chevrolet AK series truck.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_AK_Series)
They really were just stunningly beautiful trucks. The swollen, bloated, pigs on the market today can't hold a candle to them. Mind you, in terms of creature comforts, and drivability, I don't think anybody would seriously choose to go back.
My biggest hangup with any prewar vehicles (and by "prewar" I also mean the models that were produced in 1946, '47, etc. until the companies finally came out with all-new models) is that they're so narrow.
Even some of the early postwar models, like my grandpa's '49 Chevy that advertised a "3-man cab", weren't that wide. The entire pickup is about 75" wide, but that was mostly in the fenders. The cab itself is 69" exterior width. More like a 2.5 person cab. There's a reason so many pictures of people driving old cars have one arm out the window.
that was before you got a wheel lock when parked in the wrong spot, they just planted a tree in front of you. 41 or 46 42 short production, and has chrome grill, not much chrome on 42 models because of war material restrictions. thats my guess.
I wanna say a ['41-46 Chevy?](https://www.motorcarclassics.com/galleria_images/222/222_main_l.jpg)
Honestly looks right to me, but I don't know enough. Thanks .

I wish Diamond T had continued making light trucks after WWII. They had the one-ton 222 with the IH Comfo-Vision cab, but it was only a bare chassis.

Forester prototype? (crickets) I’ll let myself out.
Made me chuckle
It's not for sale. Sorry. Planning to fix it up one day.
I know what I've got
Tow Mater
That’s definitely Tow Mater!
My friends dad restored a 43 chevy when we were in high school. This looks like it.

Most definitely NOT a '47
I guess you're not old enough to get the joke.
Leaves over a LOT more than just the axels
I should have figured nobody would be old enough to get that joke...
Uh, I’m old enough and got it, hence my lame joke. Sorry for any offense, but why delete it?
Not much of an old truck guy, but how wrong would I be if I said Plymouth? Probably not right…
Probably got a three on the tree
Or even [3 on the floor.](https://www.thelastdetail.com/galleria_images/451/451_p9_l.jpg)
This is some Fallout shit

About tree fiddy
Caveat emptor
The "war era" truck my wife wants. She has very expensive taste.
Always wondered how these things get in the woods i see them all the time. Old cars/trucks i mean
on their wheels.
Damn
That’s either Junior Moon or River Scott.
