Thanks Robert & Keith, very much appreciate the information.
The B&W photo looks neat. I think I could live with a Sunshine roof.
I was thinking after our conversation Keith if it might be feasable to remove part of the reinforcing plate in the area where the chassis number would be?
The plate is welded along the top and bottom of the chassis rail. Cutting out a window around the point of the serial number giving sufficient clearance may be an answer, I guess as long as they are all in a similar position.
I appreciate yours and Roberts input thus far. Cheers Tim

Tim, I just went through my photos and I haven't taken one of the chassis number. I'll be over at Mum's tomorrow so will take a photo and post tomorrow night to give you an idea where to look.

Hi Robert, Thx for the pics. I checked out my truck again today and because of the reinforcing plate (probably a fire service addition), I dont think it is feasable to remove the plate as it is welded the length of the chassis. I think I may have to send some letters away and attempt to trace its origines through the fire service or SA road authority as I have a number plate.
Thanks for your efforts though.
Cheers Tim
