Yes Hanno, it does have a rat rod look to it . These 1944 produced C8 GS trucks have survived in relatively large numbers . But only one or two contracts were built . They seem to turn up for sale regularly, unless the same trucks change owners often ! Maybe they were not disposed of until the 1950's , hence more survived . Mike

PS there are two or three over here ,in QLD , maybe late WW2 when they arrived here .
