The windscreen frames were made from a brass section . The passengers seat was weird , you could remove a cushion and stand on a wooden base in order to use the Bren mount through the roof hatch ! .

The AWAS drivers would sometimes remove the drab paint on the grilles and shine up the chrome beneath . Not many left now , we think less than 1000 were made going by the body numbers on the cowls . TJ Richards body of course . The front guards and grills and bonnets were fully imported , not made here . The real U.S. based Dodges and De sotos are totally different in appearance . The utes are actually all Plymouths jazzed up a bit .

The contemporary 41 Ford and Chev car based military utes are even rarer . A Browne has a 41 Ford car ute , he was thinking of selling it but its a major project . He has bits from 3 of them .
