Hello Bob,

Of the two choices you mention it would be the light is the thing I was trying to identify. Thank you.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Default light

The ' D ' light in question was fitted to 48-215 and FJ utes and a lot of British vehicles post war. Several spotted at recent swap meets NEW. Original lights for CMP,s are great for show but if you are going to drive it on plates fit add some extra, even a removable boat bar.

Default Big Clue

I suppose clues dont come much bigger than this. Driving down to Sth Aust for a 40th, on the weekend prior to Corowa. I was stunned to see this parked on the side of the road.

Default Same Same

Exactly the same Chevy, as the one Ive been working on in this thread!!! Restorer assures me that the body is exactly what was on it during the war. He referred to it as a Type 'M'.

Same heavy axle and same brake drum set up. 18 inch wheels and the same flared guards.

G'day Tony,

I know the Chevrolet is not your favourite marque Tony. Your last message about the Chevrolet was posted on the 19-03-12, at 04:31

However, how is work on the Chevrolet going? It has been quite some time since you posted up about either the Chevrolet or the F15 (01-07-13, 19:27)?

Are they works in progress or works on hold?

Kind Regards
Lionel

Default Gday Lionel

The Chevy project is down the order Im afraid Lionel but it will materialise one of these days..

I have been doing a heap on the F60L but not much is obvious in the trucks appearance.

Same goes for the F15. I might try to put some posts of it up shortly.

Cold wet days and nights and no power to a frightenly disorganised shed make the work a bit more difficult as well.
