Yes David they did use some. The Darwin Overland Maintenace Force was originally equiped with 1939 GMC or Chevrolet Maple Leaf trucks with locally built Indian Army type cabs with sleeper compartments.

edit Just realised I did not give credit for the pic which I think is from the South Australian libary. I used Picture Australia web site and searched using the Stuart Highway.
