4X2 vehicle with steel tray - ID required

[Bruce Gilbert]

Gidday David, from a warm winter's day in Sydney (8-19c for the next week or so).

Thanks for your input - the box (tray?) doesn't have fold-down sides, and as mentioned before, the cab has a rectangular hatch. However, the box may not belong to the truck, as it is sitting on, but not secured to, the chassis rails. The tail gate does have half-moon cut-outs for boots when in the open position.

I will run my tape over it next week, plus some piccies.

Could the vehicle be a Ford OR a Chev? Any mechanical differences to help me identify which is is?. The diff is 'almost' central to the axle; perhaps off-centre by about an inch. Again, tape measure next week.

As this vehicle is 2wd, were there any Ford/Chev. differences in the front (and/or rear) axle construction/design.

Given that the cab has a lot of rust (in summer it could be called 'air-conditioning'), would it be better to locate another cab? Were there differences between Ford/Chev. cabs from model to model or year to year?

Thanks for you help, and thos of others, in this.

Regards

Bruce
