Default Australian Chevrolet cabs

Holden built the entire cab unit here in Australia which is why the cowl vent is a rectangle - the dies used for it are the same as on other Holden vehicles of the era, as are the little catches on the windscreens - you'll see those on quarter vent windows on other vehicles - even the FJ Holden. So there are many detail differences - here are a few: The floor is flat rather than a patterned plate, the windscreen frames are slightly curved in profile, the door stamping has no circular centre piece. The hatch although similar is different as well.
Canadian Chev cabs have the same cowl vent shape as the Ford and the doors are also the same.
