Default battery

I have two 1940 15 cwt civilian pattern utes and both have the battery located in the same location that your vehicle has.

Both of my Chevs are pretty stuffed . The 1940 models are particularly hard to find , very few of them stayed behind in Aust. Mine are both ex CFA and the chassis numbers are almost sequential.


I need a repairable cab the fixed windscreen type .

A chap in Diamond Creek has a very original 1940 15 cwt ( or 1/2 ton pickup in the USA ) model, unrestored . I was offered this vehicle at one time but at 7K $ , I declined . What is interesting is, it has a GMH made wooden body fitted rather than the ute style bodywork . It is ex army as he has found D /I\ D markings on the engine rebuild plate . I lost his contact details .

The 1940 model has a slightly shorter chassis compared to the ubiquitous 1941-47 models .
