Andrew,
Having a problem ID 'ing Chevs?
The sedan is a 1940 ridemaster. This one is the same as mine. Check under the bonnet on the firewall for the AIF/AMF rego number. Also the ID plates might have Khaki Green for an original colour. The vertical taillights make it a 1940 Chev as they had horizontal in 1941-2. The T banger is also a Chev of about 1924 or 1925 vintage. Depends whether it has a single or twin port exhaust outlet.
What about the Chev Blitz dogbox in the back of the old Chev.
Keep them coming, it's amazing what is still out there.
Regards Rick.

I did say guessing on most of them

There was no markings under the bonnet of the ridemaster that i could see

That Republic chassis has been there for a while. Check out the tree behind the front axle.
The canopy bows are for a lend-lease Chev I think. I recovered some the same being used as a chook house as well.
Now does the Ford Cab12 still have it's dogbox panels? I'm in need of a full set for my F60L Cab12. (I also need a set for the F30S Cab 11 if anyone knows of any out there.)
Regards Rick

A few more pics of the Ford
The passenger side panel looks to be a replacement at some stage as it has a second layer of numbers underneath starting with 2
The number appears to be 44557 on the drivers side

Hi Andrew,

Do you think the C15 in your post #364 above, was an ex RAAF truck given the colour of the old faded blue? Or Army that has been civil painted?

The inscription on the steering wheel may have two owners (on a long shot out of 13 K Sharpe's).

Keith Sharpe
RAAF
Leading Aircraftman
69861
84 Operational Base Unit

or

Keith Sharpe
Australian Army
N296370
17 Australian Works Company

Could not say for sure
The paint what i could see was pretty much all over in the blue so could very well be ex RAAF
Looks like it served after the war Towing at Mount Victoria
