Jim the photo would have been taken in front of the AWM on Anzac parade when we had it there for a display. From memory the spedo only had 36000 miles on clock, we also left the original jack in the tool box and under the green paint you could see the cammo patten that was used. It was at one of the trips to Canberra with the old chev that we were asked if we were interested in coming to some arrangements with the War Memorial.

It looks remarkably like a pic from my Old CMP site.



It was the Australian War Memorial open day for 2001.

No worries, Jim... it's hard to remember where pictures come from sometimes!

The doors are off a Holden Bodied truck as they have the quarterlite windows but the rest of the vehicle looks like the imported vehicles.
