The T110L-6 ought to be a 136"wb with CMP-type split rims and an Eaton 2-speed rear differential. This truck appears to never had military blackout lights on the front guards, and is missing the radiator guard.

Default gearbox

If it has the 3 speed syncro gearbox, it is likely a T112 116" . Looking at Tony's chart, it might be the next size wheelbase ( 120" ? ) but I think that model were fitted with 17" rims. Whatever it is it is unusual.

I had a T112 116" ute for years as a everyday car , these are reliable vehicles, never had a problem with it. I picked up the command car body with the Dodge and trailer , up near West Wyalong NSW. Pic ,the day we found the CC body DEC 79.

This might help or hinder

http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=255

It's probably either a 120" 0r 133" model, looking at it again, it appears too short for a 116"

Default Locally assembled?

It looks a little odd - I'm thinking locally assembled.

The rear body looks odd, not commenting further than that.

Cab is standard 41-47 with 4 x 2 fuel tank location. Looks to me like it is right hand drive with single wiper - does the screen hinge out? most ANZAC trucks had the screen built in and fixed.

Axles and wheels are 41-47 one ton, WD series, normally found on pickups and panels. The short running boards would be right for a pickup configuration, and the tow hooks would be right for militarised civilian.

I'd guess it was a 41-47 WD one ton chassis, cab, and axles supplied for local assembly. Engine is longer Canadian light duty 3 ton T110 and while contemporary, is not original.

Check the cab plate chassis number against the actual stamping on left front chassis leg side, near front left spring front hanger. Is the wheelbase 116" or 120"? it is too short for the 133" wheelbase.

New Zealand did import some odd ball vehicle types that were not seen over here in Aus. including a few unusual body types that collectors here seem to crave after. Stuff like two door coupes.

I would guess a 1946 model. Chrome trim etc. Short wheelbase 1 tonner - maybe 3/4 ton.

Here are two with the same wheels.
