Definately nothing resembling factory built
Handmade from bits the guess
Ugly as a hatfull
Built on wooden framework
They even removed the cab 12 arches
Cab 13 dash
Different fuel tanks
Added about a foot of wooden floor past the rear of the floor plates with a bench seat over it .probably not a bad idea for at least a bit of legroom

Default Chev ute

Andrew,
That Chev ute is a 1940 model and could well be ex-Army. Seems to have green paint as well under the other colours. It would make a great MV rally vehicle.
Regards Rick

Not an International but about a 1949 Federal as Andrew thought. Flat faced cowl with added cab. Nice find Andrew
