Yep,
Well thats what my new '46 Holdens military body ute looks like, described as a 1946 five-window styleside ute.
Has the same grille as my 42-46 Chevy 3/4 ton truck. Fitted with the long running boards lto the rear fenders ike the US 1/2 ton pickup.
Still in its WW2 colours which is the original paint, no sign of divisional or unit tac signs or emblems.
The front mudguards/fenders have three stainless horizontal steel trim strips at the trailing edge like the '42 Chev sedan, these could have been add-ons.
I'm arranging for transport to bring it to Cairns, North Queensland.
This truck has been in the Northern Territory desert most of its life and is virtually rust free and complete, it still still runs on its original 216.
I had a look at the dash and the instrument panel, which is the same as my 3/4 ton stock standard Chevy truck.
This is going to be interesting.
