Perhaps we should get Hanno to transfer this to a new thread??

Not every lorry/van from 1939 & 1940 production, particularly in the early stages of 1940, was acquired by the military. There are big gaps in assigned engine and chassis numbers during this early period, meaning the vehicles in between were sold to other users (perhaps to be impressed later on?)

In the case of the Chev 15cwt Van, a quick look shows there are a bunch of engine numbers around CR2003874, but not that particular one. Numbers such as CR2003853 and CR2003877, CR2003878, ....3879,.....3880, ....3881, but nothing I can find in between (CR2003854 to CR2003876). These are all assigned to AIF (ie AIF-V-1269 is CR2003853, for example). The AMF listings show few 15cwt, 1940 Chevs - they are mainly 1939 models, eg CR1994024 is C-5924.)

Nice van, Mike:when are you going to start work on it?

Mike
