1941-’47 Chevrolet ‘Art Deco’ 1.5-Ton Truck (1)

            Another front-quarter view of a circa 1941-1947 Chevrolet ‘Art Deco’ AK/YS-series 1½-ton/1.5-ton “Dually” tipper-body “YS” truck sits abandoned in the countryside on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece (possibly a “YS” model being that it has a rather long wheelbase - maybe 160”?). The truck is a LHD model, so could have been directly imported from the USA, rather than Canada (which would otherwise be RHD). The corroded paintwork could’ve originally been a shade of blue or green. I could not find any VIN plate(s), as the driver’s door was either locked or completely rusted shut. Not sure when exactly this truck came to Greece, or for how many years it was used for work, but it looks like it has been sitting here for some time. The floor pans were rusted through.
