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

Do you mean the Lucas " D " tail light ? ? OR the pigtail mounted on either side of chassis. ! !

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

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.

I suppose clues dont come much bigger than this. Driving down to Sth Aust for a 40th, on the weekend prior to Corowa. I was stunned to see this parked on the side of the road.

Exactly the same Chevy, as the one Ive been working on in this thread!!! Restorer assures me that the body is exactly what was on it during the war. He referred to it as a Type 'M'.

Same heavy axle and same brake drum set up. 18 inch wheels and the same flared guards.

G'day Tony,

I know the Chevrolet is not your favourite marque Tony. Your last message about the Chevrolet was posted on the 19-03-12, at 04:31

However, how is work on the Chevrolet going? It has been quite some time since you posted up about either the Chevrolet or the F15 (01-07-13, 19:27)?

Are they works in progress or works on hold?

Kind Regards
Lionel

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..

Lionel I'll check my image collection for you later today.

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
