Great photos Keith.
Its interesting to look at the different tyres and the way the chevron patterns are put on.
My Dad had to drive Ford Blitz's from 3 BOD Seymour Vic to Terowie in South Aust.in 1942 for use on the North/South Road. He said the heat during his later stint with the 2/7 Independant Commando Squadron in New Guinea was better than the heat coming from the Ford V8 in outback Oz.

The Top, first # 12 Cab Chevy appears to have been yet another Mid-East delivery that was then sold to the Australian Government.
