Hi all,
Well i finally got to doing some things on my F15A i bought last year. Nothing mechanical, more preservatory and research orientated.
I have a few questions based on what i have found as well as from talking to people and would appreciate any help anyone can give.
1. In speaking to Ian W, he informed me where my chassis number should be. Now i`ve sanded back and wire brushed, but there is nothing there- zilch. Does any one have any ideas if i cant find it drivers side, top face, behind the crossmember.
2. Where can i find my engine number and how could i identify if my engine is original ww2 or a post war v8?
3. I have found my ARN (cant remember it off the top of my head though). When i went to the vehicle ledgers, i found that the number is assigned to an F15A, but it is not for a GS body, instead it is for an Office Body. To my untrailed eye, i though i had a GS body, however seeing war time factory pictures of a C15 office body, i began to wonder, as this had what appeared to be a GS body with a canvas cover- not what i
thought an office body to be. (admittedly, i envisaged an office body to be a metal or wooden cabin thing). I had also noticed a few differences between GS bodies (althought on a chev) and my body, but not knowing much about australian bodies, didnt know any better.
I guess this i the tricky bit. Does anyone have any info on F15A's fitted with office bodies and how would i figure out if my body is an office body or not. Is an office body on a 15cwt vehicle comprised of a GS body
I guess there is always the chance that it had an office body and it was removed and a GS body fitted, but i am not sure what i really have so i cannot tell!
For pictures of my truck, look here. (not the best, i can get more of the tray if you want.).
