Default Chevrolet Portee photos

See http://www.primeportal.net/trucks/je...y_gun_tractor/ for pictures of a well-known Chevrolet Portee, taken at a WWII Army display in Auckland, New Zealand.

Well done, David!

Thanks Hanno, nice to see the truck turning up on the web, although you wouldn't want to look to closely at the picture of the rear Tyre!

Hi David

Yeah, she's really a beauty, and driving her too. And I see you managed to pep her up with some additional goodies. Looks excellent!

That's how she looked like when I drove her last December.

Greetings from Switzerland

She's a beaut, David!

But what is wrong with looking at those Chinese 10.00-20 Ling Long tyres?

Yep I,m sure if the Chinese weren't so busy fighting of the Japanese when the Portee was manufactured she would have been running on Ling Longs then. Hi Chris, Hows the new job going, have you started on that bike of yours yet? Iv'e bolted a new top to the gearbox and boy what a difference a good selector plate can make, no more crunching,
