Chev 30Cwt

Robert,

I believe that the serial number indicates your truck is a 1946 model.

Please see the attached images (these images are from an eBay auction from approximately a year ago). When reading the information in the third image, for the 1946 model year, a 1 1/2 ton, 134 1/2” wheel base Chev truck chassis with cab serial number would read 61133xxxxx, whereas the equivalent GMC truck would have a serial number 69133xxxxx

Are you sure that the serial number includes the model number 1130? If the truck has a full cab, I believe the model number would normally be 1133.

Thanks Colin, definitely 6-1130-35512 P. Sorry can't upload pics of the id plate.
1946 makes sense. The pics that you have posted looks visually identical to my truck. Could the "P" refer to the Holden assembly works in Perth.
Another curious thing is that on both front fenders there has been a piece welded into the fender just below the air vents.
regards,
Robert
