Talking of utes:

These are the two Holden body tags from my two 1940 chev utes. They are the light commercial utes on 113" w.b. , with the truck cab .

One was found down past Geelong, the other near Maryborough . The body/job numbers are very close . Both were originally painted in the factory in "port red" colour . They are both Jan. 40 production, very early .

They are very sick however, I need a good cab to begin with .
Not many of these would have been allowed to go into civilian use. Some were fitted with a GMH built all wooden tray type body and one of these has survived with a army rebuild palte on the motor, others like mine had a seperate ute tub fitted. The army used both types.

Both of my wrecks have the CFA logo on the doors ... But what were they doing before the CFA was formed in 1944 ?
