Just wondering.

Yes Bill you are correct but the Holden Built Chev's whether 30cwt or 3 ton looked almost the same except for the wheelbase which is probably the 133inch wheelbase instead of the 158 inch 3 tonner in the original photo thus had a short 9 foot LP body fitted. The restored example of Robert Farmers I show is a 30cwt short wheelbase model with the 9 foot LP GS body. Most Holden Assembled Chev's usually had the 20 inch rims fitted as well to my knowledge but 16in were used.
