Thanks all for the info so far. Spent a few hours looking at the chassis yesterday and came across a very worn number under the cab. I could see a 3 then 8 then nothing until maybe a 2 at the end. My folks live in Canberra and are retired so have asked them to do a bit of research for me at the Australian War Memorial.
Have done a PPSR check and unfortunately returned nothing. The previous owner mentioned he had bought the vehicle up from Victoria 10 or so years ago.
Mike in regards to the seats, thanks for identifying them. They looked so rusty and not worth saving but had the folks up at Christmas and Dad got stuck into restoring them and have come up really well. Was going to replace the springs but as they are not visible may look at new methods.
So with the info on the seats I also have the following:
- wooden steering wheel (1943 production onwards)
- engine number seems to be similar to others in 1943 and very close to two CGTs built
- Sunshine cab ?? Later in the war years so 42/43 onwards and an Aussie design
- possible chassis markings starting with a 3
