Chev shift plates-brass
Hi Bruce,
Looking at the LWD website I saw a couple early C8, C15 brass shift plates.
I also see the black print on steel shift plates for the later Chev's so I guess most were of this type.
My understanding is that all Ford Australia assembled CMP's came to Australia as bare cab chassis with just the cowl, controls, and instrument panels. Doors, roof, and cabin parts were stamped here and added. I think even the floorboards were locally sourced. Perhaps to keep the shipping weight down?
I had two sets of brass switch plates from Australian assembled cab 13 trucks so I assume they came in with the cab chassis and not added later.
Cheers,
