Jim, I thought you would have spotted that the Chev was one of those US Lend-Lease 1 1/2ton trucks you mentioned in the WW2 Photos thread. Still has the original tray:

Default Chev Truck

Hi Tony
Yes it appears to be the lend lease type , cab style , front bumper and of course the tray .
Looks as if it was fairly complete before the dismantling , the tray is in good condition ( especially the iron work ) which makes them stand out from the regular trays and are hard to find.
Good buy at $ 2000 for both seller and buyer.
Regards
Jim S.

Default prices

Those prices have my head spinning . A few short years back I was offered a nice L/L Chev like that , on a farm since 1961 , going cond. , for $500 . It was up at Glenrowan , near Wang. If you look through the mags like Just Cars or Unique cars at the newsagents, there are soooo many L/L Chevs for sale , they ask stupid prices for them , up into the multi thousands .

I even see stuff like Holden EJ sedans are now demanding ridiculous money .... whats going on ? Not long ago, they were worth 50 bucks each at a scrap yard . We seem to in the middle of a collector craze for anything pre 1970 . I've even seen.... XB Falcons are now in the classic car era .

Mike

Default classics

XB's are over 25 yrs old Mike. So very soon even early XF Falcons and VK Commodores will be classics!
You know a few years ago I could have bought a '42 Willys jeep ( the body was wood from the drivers seat back) for $160. Oh well. Live and learn.

Its about demographics. What we (baby boomers) dreamed about, when we were young, some of us are buying now. There are a lot of baby boomers, so there's a big demand for those things.

Default Old stuff

I have an XA Fairmont that I will restore just as soon as the F15 is finished. The project, I suspect, will cost me more than a low km current model Fairmont. But look at them. 70's sedans were a thing of styling beauty! So much more charcter & style than my current drive, a 10 year old Fairlane...
Remember when you could pick ap a fairly handy blitz for a few beers?
