16" 8 bolt Split Rims for 1.5 ton Australian Chevrolet Trucks

[Bob Carriere]

The famous Australian rim was therefore an 18 inch rim of similar concept/design made by stamping two halves in 1/4 inch steel plate.
Do we know who made them??? and probably sourced in Australia. Were they stamped by the maker like the Kelsey-Hayse rims.

Second question.... concerning the origin of the brake drum posted last in Hanno's posting........... I have a similar picture taken from the wrecks of North Africa...... attached...... from the picture I have concluded that it is a Chevrolet chassis from the cleanly sand blasted sheet metal, indentation on the frame for locating a LHD steering box and the spring layout. The fender seems to indicate an earlier version of LRDG using a 38-39 or 1940 round fender model.......

Does any one have a larger picture depicting that same vehicle but in larger format showing the cab style. So far I have not been able to find any references in GM part manuals for that elusive riveted brake drum and I have many.......

Thanks
