I just remembered something....
Quote:
Now who was it who posted something like this a while ago on the restoration forum .... Trouble with the 'f' word eh? It's OK to like Chev's, the Ford guys understand...... Some blokes like blokes too! Seriously what Robert said is spot on! Now you are looking a Chevrolets assembled by Holden.... On a more serious note - I am going to the place where I bought my Chevrolet 1940 truck from and another place nearby with plenty of wheels - not 18 inch ones which will fit that truck plus some grilles in better condition than that one. If you are interested I can take some photos and send some information to you about any goodies you might need - if you really are going to do the right thing and resurrect the highly deserving old Chevy workhore - oops I am showing my favourtism towards Chevys again. Kind Regards Lionel

I guess all I can say is "you got me"  I just honestly cant stand the thought of the poor old thing rotting away in a paddock.

Workhore

Yep sure did get you to rue those words hey! Yes, you can't leave any decent sort of truck to rot away in a paddock. Not even a Chevy aye! Send me a PM with your details and I will email a load of photos on Friday or post them to you via snailmail -after I spend a happy day fossicking in the old truck Valhalla. Leeann is even coming too - somewhat reluctantly I must admit. Kind Regards Lionel

It's a four-speed - if you look you can see the 'reverse' lever on the side of the shift rod.

Clarification
Quote:
Just to clarify what I meant - does the gearbox have 4 forward gears & 1 reverse. Or 3 forward gears and 1 reverse? Is the box the same as what was used in a Chev Blitz (CMP)?

Timber
Hi Tony, mills will still cut good quality hardwood for you. From the south coast you can get spotted gum, in the past used for bullock drays and ship frames or Iron bark is also available if you want to soften the ride due to the weight of the stuff. You should be able to get Red gum from near your place I belive there are still small mills operating out your way only last week I spoke to a chap with a Lucas mill from Wagga who was selling red gum at a swap meet.
If you order from the mill allow 25% shrinkage and machining waste, stack your wet boards with one inch spacers and let sit for a year in a dry stable temp enviroment. I have a cellar space were I stack and rack timber and it alays dries well without splitting.

Thanks Dennis

I repeat my question - does this truck have a four speed gearbox & one reverse gear or is it a 3 speed box with one reverse gear. Does this vehicle have the same gearbox as the Chev Blitz?
