Default Aussie Gas-2

I was impressed by the data off the January 1942-build Gas-2! That is the earliest known (to me) 1942 MODEL C60L, and was clearly an Oshawa build for the Canadian Government and not a) a Ministry of Supply order for Australia and b) a Holden-assembled truck.

I agree at the moment with the suggested dates, but early January 1942 as fars as GM is concerned is in my opinion spot-on. Windsor however may have been slightly earlier or later, and may even have mixed cabs on the lines depending on chassis: see Dr Gregg's book with both types in the plant.
