Replica
I have two of the 1940 Chev 113" wb light trucks these Indian models are based on. There is probably enough info to build a replica . Would be a easier project to build , the Aust. GMH style ute body is a nightmare of a thing with a complicated wooden frame and curved outer metal skin panels. A 1941 115" chassis would be a possible Indian bodied project too, enough of these models around. Tim Vibert did a similar conversion many years ago..to a 41 model, he used 13" wheels from a agricultural wheel business dealer , 900-13" tyres. I recall Tim driving the Chev to a club XMAS do at Ian Ledwidge's place , 1980's. With Tims Chev , he kept the hardtop but removed the doors , looked like a desert buggy.
