Chevrolet 1533X2 30-cwt trucks

Hello Davis.

That looks like a very rare truck you have. Very similar to the ex New Zealand Long Range Desert Group truck in Western Australia.

I have many detailed photos of the LRDG truck here in WA so if you need any for reference just let me know and I will post them up for you.

The LRDG Chevrolets had a flat steel plate bolted to the inside of the chassis rails to add strength. Does yours have this modification? Can you post up a few photos showing underneath your truck?

It will be interesting to compare photos of both trucks.

Yes, it looks like your truck has the same strengthening steel plate attached to the outside (sorry, I said inside ) of the chassis rails. The plate should be 25cms high as shown in the photo.

The truck shown below has a nomenclature/ID plate attached to the right hand side of the bulkhead/firewall just under the bonnet/hood.

Are the wheels on this Australian truck 18" x 10.5 or 16" x 10.5? Does anyone have a part number for the Canadian 10 bolt hubs fitted to Australian and Indian pattern trucks? Are they shorter than the commercial 5 bolt hub?
Thank you
