G'day David ,
Thanks for the information and yes my truck is a cab 12,I don't have any id plates on it and was always pleased that it had a registration number still on it.When I was searching for bits for it 30 years ago I found the remains of another cab 12 Chev at the local car wrecker which I took a plate off.It was a very interesting truck as carved into the steering wheel were a few New Guinea place names,these days I would buy the whole wreck but in those days I didn't have the money or the means to get it home.I will see if I can find the plate and give you the details.
Cheers Ken

Default Wheel

G'day...that wheel must have seen some action and proves that the AIF sent these trucks on to goodness knows where in the East. As an historian I find it amazing that these trucks had such an amazing career. And just think of the shipping that went on!
