It is one of the new bodies from Hughes Trading which were rescued back in 1976. It's been in it's previous location for 29 years.
It was one of two which had been fire damaged, which as you can see has ruined the front part of the cab. ![]() It was lifted in true recovery style by a wrecker driven by the soon to be 80 John Belfield. ![]() Cliff, in answer to your question there are at least two restorable No8 Chevs and about the same number of Fords.

I see a bit of cut and paste required the hole above the driver looks a bit big for body filler.

Interesting to see what can happen after more than 35 years.
![]() And here it is around 1976 when the four bodies were recovered. You can see by the faded red marking on the bottom body it is the same one. Pity the rear doors have disappeared, even bigger pity it wasn't put under cover. ![]() As to the fate of the other three, one was cut up, the other two were rebuilt on C15A chassis.
