Ah yes, thanks. Now that I know what to look for I see the difference.

'39 on the left, '40 on the right:

This 39 Chev is owned by one of my best mates and he was to travel with us on the now postponed "Back to the Track" trip in a 1946 Chev truck.

The hearse behind is also his and is a Propert bodied 1938 Chev.

Great, that's the source of the photo which started off this thread.

I think there aren’t trailers, just a staggered line of trucks

Hi Hanno

I see things differently......maybe that is why I am going for cataract surgery tomorrow morning.....will look at them again when I return from the hospital.

Unless they are in a "breeding position", I do not think so..... not enough space between them or the spare tires would be showing as they protrude quite a bit.

If they are trailers then they are fitted with wooden boxes same size as the trucks........... beautiful picture though.

Cheers
