Robert,
It is amazing how the
experts come out... I had my F15 parked at the local Historical Society open day after Corowa, and was approached by an
expert who enlightened me with some amazing facts!
1. Any truck with a cab like mine (#12) was made by Ford, and all the others (cab #13) were Chevs!
1.1 Any 12 cab with a Chev has had the engine retro-fitted! Therefore, the same applies to Ford-powered 13 cabs! (Gee a lot of people went to a lot of trouble, didn't they)
1.2 The Chev is a far superior vehicle owing to its bigger cabin (of course).
2. My F15 has been converted from 4wd, as they never, ever, made 2wd blitz's!
3. The "Ford" (cab 12) was produced during the war years, whereas the "Chev" (cab 13) continued well after.
I tried to help him with some factual information, but, being an
expert, he knew his stuff!
