its a morris GS8

Dave,

I think your chassis number has an incorrect first digit, should be "C" and not G. Also the model is a C8 with GS body. I do not know who has any records of chassis numbers for Morris Commercials. The army museums records will not be able to pinpoint it without a WD serial number. As these C8 trucks were late war, they carried on into service well into the Fifties and thus would have had the postwar system of military rego, for example 04ZT97 , the first letter of the pair would probably be Z or R. Armed with this serial, there is a possibility of verifying it on the records, but all that will tell you is the original WD serial and the date of disposal. The records are only of vehicles that were switched to the postwar numbering, those disposed of before that, no record.
