Looks like you may have hit the nail on the head Cliff. I have had it looked up... 73627 is listed as a Chev No6 LAA (Bofors) Tractor on an 8442 chassis.

It still looks more like a No8 but there you are.

Can't remember where these come, but probabably through Keith. Was pretty keen to do one of these, but was never in the right place at the right time to get a body. Found out on the weekend that one of the trucks in the shed was in fact a NO6, without the body of course. Live and learn.
