mk 111

That appears to be a Mk 111 from around 1937-38 . The GS body on it has odd sized boards . From around 39 they seemed to have used 3.5" boards as the standard size - the boards had a bevelled edge on the top side for some reason.
Does anyone know he date they went over to the military style radiator protector , rather than using the civilian style bumber ? They played around with the front wings a bit too , some of them have a flat top . My earliest CS8 is a 1939 example , it was a bush fire truck post war and some kind soul has welded the spring hangers onto the chassis ..... it looks like the cocky s..t welding company did it . Just about everything on the truck is worn out , the steering tie rod ends have been welded on as has the steering drop arm .
The brass aero screen mounts tend to break off too .
