Wood GS tray
Hi Rod,
Got a call about 3 weeks back from a fellow in Esperance who has a C15 and was chasing parts. The usual - windscreen frames and spare 16" rims. He is in a Vintage car or truck club in Esperance and the C15 is nearly finished. When I asked him to describe the truck he said it was two wheel drive, SWB, pushed in nose and a wood tray on the back. He replaced the rotten wood but used all the original fittings as it "looked like an army tray". I asked for photos and he said he would send me some soon. You never know, and he's closer to you than me!
Also got a call from a museum type person from the Dwellingup area who wanted to preserve a "chev army truck" and had heard about the heap of lend-lease parts I have. He was undecided as to preserve the vehicle or pass it on to someone who would "do it up". After describing the vehicle it turned out to be a Chev long nose truck, 2wd, swb, wood tray and still in its military paintjob. No, I didn't tell him it was common and not worth a pinch of pooh but I was ever so slighty tempted to.
