Perth assembly
Thanks Jim! These are the toal Perth-assembled '43 C60L chassis that I know of:
2-8443-00132-P ASSEMBLED 9/8/1943
2-8443-00135-P ASSEMBLED 8/10/1943
2844300143P ENGINE # PR3,868,444 W.O.53 ASSEMBLED DECEMBER 8 1943

28443P00260 ENGINE # PR3,875,505 WO82 ASSEMBLED 28 MARCH 1944
28443P00264 ENGINE # PR3,875,501 ASSEMBLED MAY 1944
And just two '43 8421:
2842100111P ENGINE # SR3,835,344 W.O.73 10/4/43
2842100128P ENGINE# SR3,857,769 28 APRIL 1943 [PROBABLY 28/4/43
In peacetime, Perth vehicles were interesting as the Plant may have been the one that produced the least Chevrolets each year. The assembly dates suggest that the prodcution was very slow, or these were release dates, i.e. after body fitting and chassis-cabs could have been sitting around stored for some time.
