Thanks Jeff,

Yes that chassis number is stamped into frame, I'm starting to wonder if this is a NZ assembled truck, or maybe overhauled in NZ?
I'm trying to find more info about these trucks in NZ service, but not a lot so far.
My Dad restored this truck approx 25 years ago, it was he that did the stencil on the side of the chassis plate and I'm trying to find some of his original notes that may give me a clue of the trucks history.
I noticed the other day that there is a stencil 'Trentham' on the inside of the front bumper, a connection to the old army camp here in Wellington that later became a GM assembly plant, also that unusual stencil with the three 'Cannon' like shapes on the aux tank and bumper are very intriguing...
