Australian Chevrolet WO database

Hi Ken
Good to see another batch of details.

The WO1 had a wooden body, but a good steel one would still make a good looking truck!

The ARN be confirmed if you manage to get access to the right page in AWM 126. Do you have an engine number? Most of the ones I have listed as survivors have a SR prefix.

I picked up a very good C15A Holden steel body on the weekend, and that has kick started my research into C15's ready for when I start the restoration.

I would think by reading through this thread my truck is a WO1, the top half of the plate under the left hand windscreen is broken off and all that is left is a piece that says WO cab and a job number. All other plates are missing.

The truck also has a unit sign in a pretty bad way, but I might be able to decipher what it is.

Cheers Ken

Thanks very much for the infomation Mike and Keith it was so nice of you to respond with information .
I was only yesterday telling one of the young fellas that work for me that times have changed and that when I bought my 12 cab Chev in 1980 that parts were plentiful and information on blitzes was impossible to find, now it is the other way around.

Mike, it makes such a difference having the correct and confirmed ARN and I really appreciate you going to all the trouble of clearing that up for me, all the other info is a real bonus. I checked the cab and it does have the LMG mounting holes and the former owner was good enough to put the whitworth bolts back in the holes.

Keith, I have never seen a CMP 15 Cwt wood body in the flesh, but an old couple back in 1982 told me about their C15 with wood body and the hundreds of bolts in it. I didn't believe them and thought that they had confused it with a home made body. The chassis for that truck is still around I will have to get the chassis number off it.

Isn't this a great forum

Cheers Ken
