On any original ones I have seen they are painted the same colour as the vehicle, often over a black undercoat, although I have some original new old stock parts which don't have even the black under them.

Thanks Keith.
I was told the cab 12 was painted portland stone when it was sent to the middle east or while she was posted there, but was she painted army green on the production line. So does that mean the motor was army green even after it was sent to the middle east? ![]()

Is there reason to believe this Cab 12 is ex-Middle East? I had assumed it was a normal 41/42 delivery ex-Canada.

Hi Tony
I was told it served there due to the fact the army green had been painted over in portland stone. You could see parts that were still green under many of the panels but could easy see the stone colour on the outside of the truck. Now as i said this is all new to me so this could be quite wrong so im just going on advice from a chap i know, maybe someone painted it here but im not sure. Anyway to find out ![]()

Hi Shane
Your truck has the roof hatch as fitted to Australian issue F60L cab 12s. It is extremely unlikely to have served anywhere other than Australia or perhaps New Guinea. Also the colour it was in when you got it is faded khaki, not portland stone - khaki fades to a very similar colour. The ones with Middle East service were a much smaller number of Chevrolet cab 12s which were issued there and brought back to Australia. If it didn't have a roof hatch that would be more likely to have had overseas service. Also the Supply/Mech contract number on your data plateS/M OR C/D 2037 is for Australian delivery. Quote:

Shane,
In answer to your engine covers they do indeed come as three seperate pieces. Two side covers and one that goes over the engine oil filler and gear stick. I have gone right through my photo's cant find a single one of the engine covers. Found one without them of course... ![]()
