It wasn't the project for us, but I hope it goes to a good home. It seems a shame to break uit up for spares, as it's a pretty complete and realistic project with some hard to find bits like the overflow tank and the small covers on the doghouse. As Hanno says it's a wartime C60L with the civvy dash, which in my opinion makes it more interesting than a late 1945 APT.

We couldn't see if the engine turns, as at some stage the radiator was placed lower in the horse-shoe support, obscuring the crank handle hole. The radiator does look like the original Chevy one though. The head and valve cover look like 235, and presumably the whole engine is. Engine number seems to be FIII6A1156.
It comes with a spare 216 and gearbox though, which does rotate on the crank handle.

The chassis seems nice and solid, and unmolested. Cab is pretty good, but does require some welding in a few spots and the headlights seem to be non standard. The cab roof is a bit more rough and needs more welding. It's a roof with round hole. The body is pretty rough and is from a later GS, but at least you have a base to work from. It's stored in sections.
