I simply use the enlarge function on the AWM page.

How I aquired the windscreen is lost in the mists of time Lionel, I have no idea what the truck was that it came from and am not 100% certain that it is Chev. I know that it will not fit the American cab (CCKW, Yankee Joe, Lease Lend) and by a process of elimination believe it to be for the Australian Chev cab which could come with either fixed glass or an opening windscreen.
The Australian cab like its American counterpart was used on a range of vehicles so this windscreen would also have been used on the different vehicles fitted with that cab, this is the one with the quarter vent windows and kick open side vents in the cowl.
Thanks for the invite to Normandy next year Lang but I think I've seen the best of it and am somewhat of a believer in the saying that 'you can't go back'. Been there and done that in better days. Don't like what is happening in Europe and prefer to remember it as it was.

Loved the Townsville rebuild on the run , epic drive write up.

I actually bought ( for $50 ) one of those 1941 1 Tonners back in 1981, it was located at Orange NSW . In very good condition, except somebody had fitted a farmers flat tray . It still had the '1941 Vans GS' stencil on the firewall and DLX KHAKI stamped on the Holden body tag.

My sister was living at nearby Cargo and we flat towed it to her place with my 1946 Dodge ute. I checked over the brakes on the chev before departure and they were in good shape. Despite some slow going in 1st gear on hills we managed to get home .

Had it parked there for many years in the open, later I discovered somebody had towed it around the corner and it had been ratted , both axles removed , it was sitting on blocks looking very sad. The cab didn't have opening frame so I'm guessing it was a very early one. Cab was rust free and almost perfect.
