The fuel tankers were a mixture of 30cwt and 3 tonners judging by the AWM photos I have. The Atherton Tablelands photos show mainly Fords with the odd Chev.

It is nice to see that there are people out there who are not in it for their own personal gain. Neil has been generous to a number of military vehicle collectors. Currently he is a 'lurker' on MLU and hopefully one day he will become an active forum member.

Default Identify part of rear cros smember

G'day Tony,

Great work on the Chevy

Could you identify the bit on the cross member that has been circled in the attached photo? The drawbar and cross member look exactly like on my 1940Chevy but I don't have that bit in the circle. Could you take a couple of close ups and post them up please?

Kind Regards
Lionel

Hello Bob,

Of the two choices you mention it would be the light is the thing I was trying to identify. Thank you.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Default light

The ' D ' light in question was fitted to 48-215 and FJ utes and a lot of British vehicles post war. Several spotted at recent swap meets NEW. Original lights for CMP,s are great for show but if you are going to drive it on plates fit add some extra, even a removable boat bar.

Just been through all my pictures Lionel and I dont have any other shots of that light or of the bracket that it is attatched to.

Although I'm fairly certain that it was a post war thing and that the war lighting went with whatever body was on the back.

Cliff or others may have AWM photo's showing lighting set up though..

G'day Cliff,

Thank you for the offer Cliff, while my truck is mostly complete I am missing all the blackout/convoy lights so some reference photos would be great. That way I know what I am looking for when I go to swap meets in the future.

Kind Regards
Lionel
