UH OH - I just viewed the large view and think I can make out a TINY chevron on the upper third of the very vertical 'shield' OOPS - Guess it's a Chevy after all
And the large word "Chevrolet" above that.

Yes l enlarged to the point of seeing the chevron its tiny compared to the lettering for Chevrolet above it. Maybe some folk cant see the wood for the trees.

Great photo, if you do a download and enlarge scroll to the grill it says Chevrolet and hub caps reveal the same. I wanted to say 1939 but that is pure guess.l[quote=Hi still archiving my old cars. Can anyone tell me make, model and year of this truck?[/quote]

The differences between the prewar 41 and 42 chevy versus the post war 46 are minimal as they just resumed production with existing tooling. This looks just like our 41 and like the 42 posted above

Automotive plants suspended civilian manufacturing during most of the WWII war years. Start up manufacturing in 1946 (after the war) used the same models from 1941 with redesigns in 1947/48.

That insignia on the center grill vertical bar suggests Dodge. The curveyness implies late 1930s.
That insignia looks like one Buick used in '39. Makes some sense as this is a Chevrolet. Chevy shared OHV engine type and torque tube drive with Buick, and are both GM brands.
This is an "AK" series truck, The styling didn't change much over the production life (1941-47)
The wartime version usually had painted "brightwork". This is likely a '46-'47 model.
The GMC version had horizontal rather than vertical grille bars.
