Chevrolet 1533X2 30-cwt trucks

[Colin Alford]

To my eyes, this vehicle is also a 1543X2 with 10.50 x 16 tires built prior to serial number 1154305001. Most of the ID features are the same as those listed above. The obvious in-theatre modifications are the bars attached across the driver’s door, and the chopped cab.

The bonus of these images are the missing front bumper which seem to be the best images I have found which show the area behind the raised front bumper as fitted to 1543X2 and 1533X2.

I couldn’t find my “Factory Photos CD”, so I borrowed this album for the weekend.

While the 4 x factory photos of the 1533X2 have been shared numerous times, in the subsequent posts, I will provide a bunch of close-up images that may assist in ironing out some of the details of these vehicles.

Here are 2 x close-ups from the 1543X2 section of the album showing the configuration of the left side of the transmission showing the tire pump (note lack of vertical control rod as would be fitted to a CMP), and speedometer adaptor (showing the connection to the rear axle shifter).

I have also included an illustration from CC60L-HB1 of the same area to assist in identifying parts.

Wow, Colin - just wow!
