Upon having a read of these books, it's a good opportunity to thank you, Mike Cecil, for trawling through them to find my International K5 some years ago. I understand, now, just how big of a haystack each book is; Mike, I'm grateful for your efforts.
Now if only I could find the chassis number through the surface corrosion on the chassis rail of my 1940 Chev sedan. It's obviously ex-military, having been impressed and painted green (with the engine bay left in GMH Sand Drift), then later painted light blue-grey. I'm hoping that this indicates RAAF or Naval use, as suggested by a number of you good people, but I wonder if it was common for vehicles sold back to dealers to be painted colours other than green before resale to the civillian market? Anyway, these books are a great help, and are much appreciated. Thank you! Cheers, Matt
