You have quite a good selection of frames there, Bob. If this lockdown lasts long enough, you could probably end up building a complete LRD Group of vehicles! The only thing missing would be the sand dunes!
Stay safe, David |

At the same time that the price of new steel is up, even without much manufacturing demand to push the price up, the local price we could get for scrap (if we were so "irresponsible" as to load, transport and sell it to the local scrappies) has dropped to $40/tonne. Get less when we sell, pay more when we buy. It reminds me of the movie quote "greed is good", it looks like greed at work although in this case the good doesn't flow to Bob..... |

Pondering on the right chassis and sheet metal

Plus the 1311X3 is a unique mix of US, Canadian and other Commonwealth bits ‘n bobs. Of a handy size, it would be easy to drive, work on and store in a container at the Hammond Barn. Two topics need researching, which is what MLU Forum is for: 1) Chassis: I am no expert on Chevrolets but going by the info available here, in Bart Vanderveen’s books and the sites listed below, here’s what I found:
2) Body: I have some more pics of the surviving body coming up, stay tuned. Sources (accessed 28-apr-2020): http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/models/index.htm https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-...tion-kits.html https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/i...ies/index.html

Indian
hi bob
There should be a easier way of doing a 15 cwt Indian pattern type vehicle. There must be plenty of 1941 to 47 Chev 1/2 ton pickups around in your country , these have the correct 115" wb for a 1941 Indian but the snag is you would need the RHD components . Used to be a number of those 41 to 47 Chev utes around here in Aust., RHD , maybe somebody has one that is only good for parts.

Can you educate me about the differences between the '39 and the '40 grill? I'm learning while doing here, thanks.

grill
The 40 model grill has less bars in the grill because of a wider trim piece on top , The 39 is basically all bars right up to the top .

I would applaud it too. There are probably some RHD ones around here in NZ with the correct wheel base.

Red ute
That 1939 red GMH bodied ute. The present owner found it unrestored in a shed up near Glenrowan , its the original tub on it , original wood frame and skin in like new condition. Pic was taken at the Warragul old wares show a few years back.

I think there aren’t trailers, just a staggered line of trucks

I don't think so........
Hi Hanno
I see things differently......maybe that is why I am going for cataract surgery tomorrow morning.....will look at them again when I return from the hospital. Unless they are in a "breeding position", I do not think so..... not enough space between them or the spare tires would be showing as they protrude quite a bit. If they are trailers then they are fitted with wooden boxes same size as the trucks........... beautiful picture though. Cheers

It's a deceptive photo.
While counting the tires on the ground might lead to thinking it's a trailer, close inspection shows what appears to be a running board leading forward from the "Trailer", and a shadow on the ground much farther forward than where the "Box" of the trailer should end. I think this is a 2nd truck in the line with the cab obscured.

Now that I can see.......
...I agree.....not a trailer but a truck out of line......
New eye ball is doing fine but will need a redo on the glasses.

Possibly.......
..... the elusive 18 inch rims????? they are using the split rims with the standard GM bolt pattern..... a little easier with more steel to work with than a 16 inch rim....
My best opinion!!!!!

Rims looks weird......
Looks like a split rim but the rimbolts are on the back side......
Looks different than rims on previous photo..... but still large enough to be 18 inches.... ...... that truck has been around some rough times.... no water expansion tank.... most of the waterfall grill still in place .....civvy bumper with no brush guard..... so many variations.....
