1941 Chevrolet. Either a 30cwt or more likely a 3 tonner. Holden assembled with Holden built cab. Which model it is depends on it's wheelbase. The front mudguards have extra sheetmetal attached. If you look at the line by the headlight that is where the original cut out guards came to.
Below is two photos of what the vehicle probaby looked like when new. BTW the CMP used running gear from this type of Chevrolet NOT the other way round

Incidently - how difficult is it to get 18 inch tyres & tubes to suit?? Is that your truck in the first picture - it looks fantastic.

I don't own a real motor vehicle and while that Chev in the photo is an Aussie Truck I think it is from somewhere down your way. Also not sure about the gearbox and this truck would be about the same size as your CMP with body/tilt etc. on itas to 18inch tyres I think the correct size is a case of...."You want what size????? ha ha ha ha ha

Hmmm a challenge then...
Thanks Cliff,
Hmmmm Yes.. I was not long off this thread when I realised the 18inch rim question has been asked before (only about 10 threads ago)  They look like a nightmare to find - nevertheless to a MLUer, it simply makes the hunt & chase all that more interesting  Max informs me it may be possible to remove 5 of the ten wheel studs in the drum (every second one)& then put 20 inch rims on. Anyone want to comment on that?? Apparently some of the front wheels on tractors (the ploughing type not the gun type) also have 18 inch rims??? Many thanks again Cliff for information.

The 10 stud hubs are the standard Chev commercial hubs of the day and have nothing to do with CMPs. You might be lucky to find a pre-war Chev truck to salvage the 20" wheels from, but where??? This truck has had the guards widened to fit the 18" D^D wheels, but it is not an MCP. There WAS a version of the Chev truck fitted with 2wd CMP parts and this was the CC60L MCP.
Chevs are too confusing, Tony, stick with a Ford.

Just reading an old thread. It seems that 18 in tyres are available from the states at 375$ea
but the freight to oz would be a killer

Tyres

I just checked what my truck is shod with as it is the same style as the Chevy only a year older with a different grille. It had Olympic Trojans on it which are 17 X 20 it has five stud front wheels and 10 stud back dual wheels. The dash area looks in very good nick which is a bit of a surprise. Kind Regards Lionel

2nd Phot of Chevy
Quote:
I have a copy of the photo of the second Chevrolet from the AWM. Since first seeing the truck I have wondered about its tonnage, as it seems to have a longer nose than other Chevys. Is this right or my eyes playing tricks? The three ton stores Chevrolet photo that is. Kind Regards Lionel
