Default Oh! err... righto then.

That's very interesting Cliff.. I didnt realise the cab was so modified at the back and the doors as well.

I thought the back just went over the top of the Cab.

I am sorry about the measurements... I had forgotten in all inconsiderate honesty...

What did you need again?

Hi Tony. Yes it only had one opening door on the LHS as the spare tyre and mount blocked the drivers door.

On the Holden cab just want a measurement at floor level across the cab external to external at the front door pillars, width and height of doors and width of cowl to bonnet edge at the mold line and width of body from back door pillars to the rear of cab. Just need to check that some kit parts I have are accurate to scale. Metric or Imperial does not matter.

Thanks Tony I appreciate it.

Cheers
Cliff

Ive got a couple of pics of one of these bodies being made . I think they contracted out the body work to local body builders in Melbourne and other places maybe .

I will post the pics here tomorrow.

BTW that vehicle pic cliff posted. I was offered that vehicle as part of a swap deal that never happened .

Reminds me I think Danny Stanton has one of these vehicles , he plans on restoring it , it might be the example pictured ?

A few Marmys in the background of that third photo Mike.

I rang a mate about the ambulance we saw in the Western District years ago. He confirmed that he 'also thought' it was a Chev ambulance. His father was with us at the time. He took us there. Guess who can't remember where it was? Guess who has since died?
