Hmmmm I can certainly see some things you might like to throw out!

The dash has had the later military instrumentation 'upgrade'. I think I need to see more pictures to be helpful to you.

Default Ford vs Chev

Hi Keith, The bits I'm throwing out wouldn't include the Ford motor would they? I see you seem to be a Ford man!!

At a glance the thing that strikes me is the reinforced chassis rail. The patched up and cut roof above rear window.

The wooden handle lever near the passenger seat.

The switch for swapping fuel tanks.

I will call shortly for a chat.

Cheers Tim

I hadn't seen the first batch for some reason until now. Robert is indeed correct, a C15A with sunshine roof, a very cool (literally in winter) thing to have.

The most likely original body option is an Australian No2 type such as this example:

Default Data plate

You can see where that has been removed from the top of your dash by some uncaring souvenir hunter:



The chassis is not only plated for it's length, but also you have lost the very rear of the chassis too. As I mentioned on the phone, the reason you can't see the chassis number is it is behind one of the reinforcing plates.
