Hi Gord

Will you be using a pipe A frame with the winch?????.......'cause I know where there is one........ not quite complete but available for a very low price....

Cheers

Unfortunately the Chevrolet 30 cwt is a bitsa truck, I think that its original livery would have been a LAAT. It is a 1942 year and does not have helper springs so an early 13 cab truck. The engineers box was available (although it was in Manitoba) so wrong box for the truck. The offer of the A frame is appreciated but I have no desire to have equipment in the truck box. Thank you for the offer. Just because it may do 80 K doesn't meant it will be driven that fast.

Gday Gent's

Your stable is looking fantastic Gordon and Neil.

Very curious about the Engineers body. Can you expand on its background?

Are they Canadian built? Were they on 30 Hundred weight trucks only, or on 60's as well.

Did they have a canopy? Or did they all have that Derrick crane in the back?

More pictures would be great.

We may have stumbled across one down here Down Under.

Cheers, Ganmain Tony

The engineers box I have on the truck is probably for a S60 cwt and not correct for the chassis. If you search 3 ton derrick there is a discussion about this type of box and would answer a lot of your questions. I'm not very computer literate but will send you PM.
