Good day Keith ,
It is a Canadian cab, it has all the things like checker floor, different vents, round hole in the top of the cab, windscreens different, I have several Australian 13 cabs both early and late so I know it is not an Australian cab.
I didn't know the bit about the vin plates on the dash being an Australian thing though, all the holes for the plates are in the engine cover, I wondered what was missing as the truck is so original, but if they have been shifted up to the top of the dash that makes sense.
The left hand chassis rail is marked like this,
4X8443- which according to David Hayward should be X48443-
71597
SM 6404 I have never seen a contract number on a chassis before
Photos coming .
Cheers Ken
