Look What Crawled Out From Under A Rock
Hi Keefy - these damn Chevs are everywhere. Took some time out for a field trip today. Have plenty of images but truck was in a tight location so fairly restrictive images. However the important stuff. Firstly frontal.

Details
The owner of course would like details ex. the data plates.

|

Data
It's a pity that the assembly plant letters are not obvious or stamped. The former one sounds like a CKD assembly job, whereas the other two are chassis imported and then assembled.

WO 98
Strange - I have WO98 listed as a 8446 chassis for the Fox - imported for the Rhino armoured car project - but it seems that my info may be dodgy.
The definitive WO listing is as elusive as ever! Contracts and chassis numbers E52-445 3844363615 E52-448 3844361436 are both new to me and would seem to be fairly late ones for C60Ls with Holden built cabs. The other E52 numbers I have are for Ford chassis. The truck you've pictured in the barn with the Landy appears to be a Ford F60L going by the cab and spring bumper.

XT huh
Restored, they are selling for around $50,000 at the present time. Prices are steadily rising too.

XTs
We had XTs imported into England by Ford Personal Import-Export Ltd in central London. I am not sure if there any left now as they rusted!

Hi Keefy
Another one for your database. This is from the Ballarat Blitz on the "If you go down in the woods today" thread. Bob |

Found Another One
Hi Keefy - this one is an ex. Country Fire Service truck near me. They are restoring it as a CFS vehicle. 2WD so either a C15 or whatever. The owner said a number of these were utilised by various CFS brigades and were possibly ex. ambulances.
Model WO1 Serial 2842100230M Engine SP 3779337 - the first 3 could be an 8 as a crease is across the number. Bob

Wooden Body
Hi Keefy - by "wooden body" I take it you mean a GS body made out of wood. I've informed the restorers that they should lightly sand back the areas where the ARN and Unit Designations should be. In the mean time any information to show its provenance would be appreciated.
Bob

Yes, it's SR prefixed...only used on the 1942 C15s; 1942 C8s and C15As used MR and WR prefixes. This is the complete list of Holden-assembled to my knowledge:

I think it was Brisbane plant that did not always use 'B' in the serial. The Perth 'P' vehicles were possibly the rarest. |

Sydney dates
Taking this one as an example, a Sydney built C15 Wireless Signals I have noticed that these had the date stamped on the plate affixed to the engine cover rather than the data plate on the dash.
