That's the good thing about a forum like this: discussion leading to better conclusions.

(not sure what the other numbers mean- code for engine/location???) - the numbers/letters are the authority for the changeover to occur (the authority also is used for the engine to be demanded by the workshop from the RAAOC store, and so on. As you'd know, the workshop just can't front the storeman and say 'give us an engine, mate' - he'd be asked 'on what authority?' as it has to be accounted for).

3 BOD I believe is Seymour area, this is where it was disposed of.- 3BOD was located at Broadmeadows but they operated an detachment at Seymour. Many auctions were done from Seymour, so it is likely it was sold through 'Det 3BOD'.

"The chassis number is 38443.....the first prefix is for the year and the next 4 are for the chassis model identification." - yes, that is correct. The '3' prefix is 1943; and 8443 translates to: 8= Canada sourced; 4 = 4 wheels; 4 = four wheels driven and '3' = third design model which was 158 inch WB. ie a 4x4 C60L.

So do I deduce you purchased it from 'North Eastern Motor Wrobbers' in Wodonga?? THAT would have cost you!

Nice if you could find the fixed hood bows and wire mesh sides for the rear body. I don't know of anyone with a restored Stores (Unbinned) model truck, so it would be quite unique.
