Good day Rod,
Welcome to the forum, you have a lovely truck. I researched my Australian cabbed Chevrolet truck earlier this year using the AWM registration books to find out a tiny bit of history. It took a lot of hours to find the chassis number but I was able to find that my truck had been to the Middle East on the ship Tricolor spelt Tricolour in the AWM books. The other thing I found was the trucks with the small wheel stud, 18 inch rims like yours are 30 cwt (1-1/2 ton) and the trucks with the bigger stud, 5 stud 18 inch rims are 3 tonners. The rims are not blitz they are uniquely Australian Chevrolet and are stamped GMH. My truck was fortunate enough to survive the Middle East return to Australia and was sold to GMH after the war. As more of these Chev cabs are being turned into rat rods or garden art a good complete truck is becoming a rarity. Ken
