Chevrolet 1533X2 30-cwt trucks

[motto]

I was delighted to see the photos of the Chev posted by Tommy whatever its origins may be.
My father who died last year at the age of 93 was a vehicle enthusiast all his life and had an accurate memory for vehicles he had seen.
During the war he was stationed in the Darwin area for some time as part of 7th battalion signals. One day we were talking trucks and he told me that he had seen what he referred to as 'Desert Chevs, in the Northern Territory during his time up there. From his brief description I assumed the trucks he saw were probably Indian Army Pattern.
I had no confirmation of the presence of such vehicles although not actively searching.
The old man's been proved right.
