A small light emphasis is needed to see more details:![[Image: m-01x13-004513-chevypu.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/m-01x13-004513-chevypu.jpg) ![[Image: m-01x13-004514-chevypu.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/m-01x13-004514-chevypu.jpg) (00:45:13 // 00:45:14) 1941-47 Chevrolet Art Deco truck for sure. Almost no detail can help to tell the difference between the different model years. AK was one of the codes used for the ½-ton Light Delivery models. With one reinforcement bar on each side of the rear wheel arch, this pickup bed is on a 134½" (3.42 m) wheelbase used by the One-Ton trucks and the 1½-ton Heavy-Duty ones. And with hub caps in place of heavy-duty wheel rims, this is a One-Ton pickup. (See page 77 of the 1941 brochure - Pdf, 29 Mb - and page 31 of the 1941-42 Unit Designed Chevrolet Truck Bodies - Pdf, 10 Mb. Both documents available here) It has 2 internal code (YR and apparently 3804 too), but for now only the 2-letter one is used for the Art Deco trucks in the IMCDb. ⇒ 1941 Chevrolet One-Ton [YR] -- Last edit: 2015-01-11 20:05:11 |

As we have many listed with numbers instead of letters, wouldn't it be better to continue using "1-Ton", "¾-Ton", etc.? |

1-ton, ¾-ton, etc. (with numbers instead of letter) are "common name", used by some people more or less like Europeans could call a Renault 4 a "4L" or like most people say "Beetle / Käfer / Coccinelle" for the VW Typ 1. Depending on the trucks line, these "numbers" should in fact be replaced by 3100 to 6800 (Advance-Design), 3100 to 10800 (1955-57 Task-Force), 31 to 100 (1958-59 Task-Force) and C-10 to C-80 (1960+ C/K-Series)... I'll propose some "mass change" about the "½-ton to 2-ton" in a few times. The problem is that a lot of the "number listed" vehicles you're talking about seem to have been wrongly/too fast identified, and I would have liked to propose some cleaning before. But this can also be done later... "Light Delivery", "Three-Quarter Ton", "One-Ton" and "Heavy-Duty" were written this way as official names in the 1941 brochure. That's why I think we should used them. For the record, these names became the more known 3100 to 6700 for the "post-war generation" of the Art Deco trucks line (1946-47). But as said in each expert fans site I found, almost no detail can help to tell a 1941 model from a 1947 one, which leave us with not a lot of options apart the 1941 MY and its official names... -- Last edit: 2015-01-14 03:27:41 |

OK then .gif ";)") But "One-Ton" rather than "One Ton" I suppose? As I noticed that there you didn't use a "-" so it was already listed differently: /vehicle_114267-Chevrolet-One-Ton-YR-1941.html -- Last edit: 2015-01-14 17:12:27 |

Well, I was sure to have read it as "One Tone" somewhere when I wrote the comment for the other truck, and it sounded logical to me ("one-ton" with the hyphen when complement like in "a one-ton chassis", but without anything when "One Ton" as a whole name). But I can't find it again without the hyphen, so let's have it everywhere  (The One-ton truck was a kind of "lower option" for the Heavy-Duty model, so it appears just as notes in the diagrams and technical data tables of the brochures...) -- Last edit: 2015-01-15 02:16:17 |
