Ah, OK - so this number on the bonnet that gave Tony the AALMG info does not match what the chassis number tells us?

Default Numbers

That's right - they were not numbered on top of the bonnet - it was either side of the bonnet so the number is spurious and happened to link to a different truck.

ARN 65638 is based on your chassis number and is the correct one for your truck. At least you now know!

I see - thankyou very much (say it like Elvis)
Does the info on the tags guarantee it is the original cab for that chassis?

Those tags are normally just internal factory production numbering with no correlation - WO FRT END is a generic title... the more telling thing is the roadster cab which applied to C15As mostly, so it is likely the original cab. I assume the data plate on top of the dash is missing.
Are you able to find the ARN under the paint in front of the windscreens?

Default It's mate

Incidentally chassis number 2844400439S was at Corowa for Year of the Blitz in 2002 - ARN 65644 but I don't have a pic handy. Unsure who owned it.

It was NRMA tow vehicle after the war - there only seems to be a couple of layers of that ...
Will have to return rear springs to original configuration - beefed up to support jib and winch.

Anyone got some pictures of what a AALMG Blitz should look like anyway?
