This thread has wandered into chev. engine numbers
.
This 1940 15 cwt project has engine nr. CR 2003874 . The engine was running when I first found the vehicle back in 98 ? This is a Jan 40 assembled Chev and as far as I can tell, somehow it escaped military service , I am guessing that around 99.9 % of these vehicles would have gone into the military. Looking through the AWM pics , the AIF had many of these 40 models. I specifically wanted a 1940 15 cwt model and I searched high and low for years before finding this one. I could have bought any number of the 41-47 15 cwt models ( slightly longer wheelbase ) , a dime a dozen .
