Hey Tony ,

Well spotted , the 1939-40 LRDG chevs do have a similar stud pattern to the Aust. 18" hubs . It is difficult to say they are exactly the same pitch and diameter etc, but they are both 10 stud.

The Aust. 30cwt 18" tyres were 9.00X18 and the 3 Tonners used the 10.50X18's . In the 1939-40 GMH Nasco chev army truck parts list these 18" rims are refered to as overseas pattern. The rims do vary in style . Ford Aust. made 18" rims too for military use.

Mike
