Default Chev 12 cwt

These 1940 12 cwt Chevy utes were shipped overseas . The LH column ( in red ) refers to vehicles returned to Australia , I think.

Default transfers

A few examples had reg. transferred from AIF plates to C plates

One was returned to Australia then transferred to the Dept, of Navy.

The early army nomenclature for these utes was: 12 cwt GS , it seems to change later on to - 12 cwt Vans GS.

The overdrive unit almost looks like a backyard engineered device. Whoever made it , they were clever.

Mike, Mike or anyone could you please put up the headings for the columns in the records to let us lesser mortals know what the numbers stand for.
