There are a few Royal Navy vehicles with the RN as a prefix before the numbers.
So far I look like having a truck that was shipped from Canada to New Zealand in a crate. Built there, then sent off to the Solomon Islands with the 2NZEF-IP and more then likely used in a Headquarters unit of some sort (102). Then, somehow along the line, end up being painted a different shade of green with RN68022 painted upon it. Now looks like it had service in the Royal Navy before or on arrival in Australia.
All I wanted was a nice easy truck with a tray!.......but if I am about to unload a fair bit of money on the old girl in the next few years, I’d rather get its history right (or as close as I can). Thanks for all the help so far. Looks like I could spend longer doing the research then the restoration!!!!!
