Hi David

Yes, i still have the two ID plates from it with SM 2029 marked .And it was fitted with a Duple built body before being shipped out to the M.E. .. Seems that batch of thesem C8's were shipped home with AIF. Why did they choose C8's though and nil F8's. Same with the cab 12 3 tonners ex ME.. all Chevs ..no Fords.
