Default Military utility ID

At 11:05:05:03 in this movie

A military ute drives past. What is it ? A Chevy ? But it looks like a 1938 model ? Its the car based utility but with a commercial truck type grill- never seen this before myself.

Interesting scenes in this movie

Hi Mike, I think it is a 1939 Chev. The commercials carried the grill over from the previous year.

Here is a 1939 ute, close but not the same. (USA. v AUST.)
Regards Rick.

Default ute

Hi rick

It doesn't appear to be built on the light commercial chassis, which of course has the truck style cab . I still tend to lean towards a 1938 car based ute eg same chassis and wb as the 1938 chevy sedan. The 39 car/ute grill is completely different .
