Survivor in QLD
Probably a 1970s era pic. Could be ex-mil vehicle as I see the canvas or what might be might be tonneau hooks along the body side but no top bow brackets so who knows ! I would say a 1940 Chevy 1 Tonner , 17" wheels. Doubt it is still around now. The GM-H tubs on these were somewhat flimsy and not long lasting, after weather exposure, once the wooden frame became unstable they fell apart. Don't know how this one lasted til the 1970s !

1941 Chevrolet ute
I had a look at this rare Aust. military 1941 Chev 'masonite' ute many years ago when it was in a shed at Yarra Junction.
The vehicle is now being worked on by a friend. These Aust. car based soft top utes have some similarity to the German Umbau vehicles that were featured in a Wheels & Tracks magazine.

Ford in the Philippines
Appears that at least one Australian 1941/42 Ford ute was shipped to the Philippines with the U.S. army, not surprising as the US forces in Aust. were issued with locally produced vehicles. This Ford, somehow it was not returned to Australian ownership and it was taken North when the US army moved Northwards. The drivers door marking reads: US ARMY
ITEM: ORIGINAL VINTAGE PHOTO AGE: 1940s SIZE: 4" x 5" DESCRIPTION: Military Man with Truck, Occupied Philippines

Another Pontiac
Another pic from the Brisbane City archives
A ex-RAAF (or USAFIA) 1941 Pontiac ute was parked in a Brisbane street in 1949.
