Good detective work max

I would interested in see a picture of the box, wheel bracket, what ever attached to this bracket. This obviously is not an Austrailian only part as I have one on my `41 Pattern 12 Chev C60L as well. An my truck came out of Vermont, USA so obviously it is was a Canadian part as well.

Picture below shows my truck as found.

hopefully at some stage max might be able to fill in the story (sorry to dob you in max )

Have solved a few little mysteries on my c8 .
I have discovered the headlights are from a 40,s bedford pc or similar
speedo is from a civilian chevrolet truck (the same as in my 38 chev)
gauges same as in bedford civilian or similar of late 40,s

the bracket behind the cab is for a steel frame tyre carrier, I must have given you the wrong info on that one Andrew. I was in a bit of a muddle the other night as Hugh was waiting to load an old trailer we had, it was midnight when we finished and it was one of the gooddies in the tunnel that turned heads when they drove through

Cant blame them for being distracted

Didnt quite catch what you were saying the other night .I think i just had wooden stuck in my head from the block bolted to this bracket
