Early Pattern 11 Chev 4x2 ??

[Joe Lorenzino]

Here are some Old photos of the "Ponteix" truck, which appears to be a near twin to the DB "Neville" truck above. I had taken these back in the mid 70's when the original owner farmed near the family homestead, and was a friend of my Uncle. Again a Chevy with a Ford grill, pressed steel bumper, no front vents, ETC.
After the owner passed away, his son got it running again, ( may have rebuilt the engine ) and it was sold to a nearby neighbour with a passion for collecting. Believe he too has passed on, but that the truck is still in his family.
The 2A1 box was still out in the pasture when these pictures were taken. It had been unbolted set on some blocks, and was in very pristinely "complete" condition. It ended up on another Pattern 11 4X2 restoration in Moose Jaw. Note missing roof fasteners, and farmer applied galvanized conduit hold downs.
