The tipper mentioned above explains why some restorers view "museum piece" as a negative term. I suspect the wheelbase has been stretched, the brake booster isn't the original style and at least the fan and oilpan (and I suspect the entire motor) have been replaced. I know very little about Australian engines but didn't Holden make a red series post-war? The body also looks like a replacement designed for a high bulk, low density cargo - it would be a serious overload even for a blitz if filled with earth or rock.
