This is the one!
Am interested in any details, especially the back body construction and sizes.
Thanks Nigel

Is this what you want?
Keith Webb probably has a lot of info on these and I think that is where the photo below came from originally.

Sorry Cliff, that's not the one. Nigel said he was looking for info on a Ford F15, not a Chev C8A.
Looking at the rear body the hatches differ from a HU series and there's a step up in the roof at the the cab in the photo he attached. Until Nigel attached the photo I had thought he was referring to a heavier variant of the Ford Car, Heavy Utility, 4x2 (Ford C011DF-F8) that was based on the 11 or 12 cab F8. With the photo attached it seems to be something completely different that I don't know anything useful about.

 I have a few photos of the Ford and Chev 15cwt versions but that was the only data I had with measurements. Again most of these I am fairly sure I got from Keith Webb.  There was one of these for Sale at the late Ken Hughes yard at Kingaroy, Queensland a few years back but I am not sure where it ended up at.

You are right, I jumped to a (wrong) conclusion when I saw Chevrolet in the description on your image. When I look more carefully I also see the stepped roof in your image. All I can say in my defence is that I did say it was a truck I don't know anything useful about.

Truck, 6 seat Utility (Aust)
Yes, that is one of my images:
 This was indeed built on a Ford F15 chassis but there was also an Australian Chevrolet counterpart which differed in detail only. They were of coachbuilt construction using both steel and timber and were very unusual in the seating arrangements. The front seats were leather and folded all the way back, the rear bench seat (for the officers) was a leather bench seat which could be folded back too to form a sort of camper arrangement. There was a canvas side annexe on the left hand side and very uncomfortable fold down seats in the rear for others. The spare tyre was carried flat in the rear of the vehicle under a shelf.

Compare and contrast
This is the Chevrolet built version, Note the thinner rear mudguards.
 While the Ford uses the same ones as on the pickup:

What is the point of having a spare tyre that is flat?
