... my Canadian parts catalogue for a good half ton TF front hub.
Specifically, I have a 1955-1957 Chevrolet & GMC Truck Parts Catalogue
number 575 including revisions 1, 2 and 3. It was published by
General Motors of CANADA Ltd. It is dated July 1960.
It includes:
Model Cross Reference (Canadian <-> USA)
Serial Plate Identification (Serial # Decoder)
Model Identification (Pictures of various models)
Model Information (Weight, wheelbase, liquid
capacities, H.P.)
Parts Data Index consisting of Groups 0-9,16 & 17

5. Brake Operating & Rear Axle
6. Front Suspension & Steering
7. Springs & Bumpers

Total of above is 482 pages. Some are worn. Some are dirty.
A few have hand written notes. All seem to be there.
There is also an Alphabetic Index and a Numeric Index.
Sections 10 thru 15 were NOT included in the original manual.
They were NOT listed in the index.
I will also include the following sections from a 1958-1960 Chevrolet & GMC
Truck Parts Catalogue. It is dated 1960. It is also a CANADIAN
publication.
Group Description
5. Brake Operating & Rear Axle
6. Front Suspension & Steering
(Someone mistakenly removed page 519/520 and
inserted
an updated page 619/620 in it's place. The original
pages had drawings of the 58/9 2.5 ton Front Axle
and
Front Axle cross section.)
7. Springs & Bumpers
8. Sheet Metal & Heater Parts
9. Instruments
16. Windshield & Panels
17. Platforms & Panel Bodies

Alphabetical Index
Part # Index
All the above documentation is in loose-leaf form. No binder will be
included.
REMEMBER, THIS MANUAL USES CANADIAN MODEL NUMBERS AND IS NOT THE SAME AS
A USA-BASED CHEVROLET OR GMC MASTER PARTS MANUAL. IT CONTAINS PARTS
INFORMATION FOR BOTH CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCKS. IT MAKES NO REFERENCE
TO THE PONTIAC-BASED V8's FOUND IN USA GMC TF TRUCKS, BUT DOES HAVE LISTINGS
FOR A 322 CUBIC INCH V8 THAT APPEARS TO BE BUICK-BASED. THE FEW NON-V8
PART NUMBERS THAT I HAVE LOOKED UP IN THIS MANUAL ARE THE SAME AS I FIND
IN MY 1955-59 GMC MASTER PARTS MANUAL.
What I want in trade is GMC (and I believe Chevrolet) part # 3754160.
This is a 6-lug front hub for a GMC 1xx series. Should be the same on
US Chevy 31xx series and Canadian 13xx series. It needs to be in good
shape. I do not care if it comes with a brake drum or lug bolts
attached, but the surfaces that the bearings mount in must be in very
good condition.
I think I can buy the hub for around $40 US so if someone wants to buy
the Canadian Parts Catalogue for that price I'd let it go. I know
how hard it is to find documentation for these old beasts (I finally
found a US 55-59 GMC Master Parts Book - the reason I am letting the
Canadian catalogue go) and I just want to make sure that this catalogue
goes to a good home.
Ping me off list if you are interested.
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
