1943 lend lease chevrolet (3ton)

[Shaun Mastin]

so after everything got sandblasted and got new bushes for the shackle pins, I got everything put back together and painted and started working on the steel work of the tray.
when most of these trucks came out here , the aussies put an 8mm strengthening plate along the side of the chassis to beef the load capacity to 3ton
mine started to delaminate so I had to take it of and make up new ones. the originals were riveted on, instead of re riveting it I brought 13mm bolts and bolted it back up , and then ran a bead of truck silicone on the joints to prevent water from getting in there again
