These pics may be of some help, I think the 39 ute body is similar. https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r.../207/7/148-152

Nice
That's a beauty ! looks like somebody has done all the hard work... these are quite rare , the production numbers were very low compared to the overseas models which were produced in large numbers, GM-H were a relatively small setup.
more pics of the 1941 army models being made https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r.../207/4/557-572 1939 ute interior: and other aspects. Looks like they carried over the 1939 ute body into 1940 and fitted the 40 model front end ? https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/207/4/436 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/207/4/431 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r.../207/4/432-433 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r.../207/4/434-435 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r.../207/4/437-440 1940 Body bits .. sedan I think https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/207/4/489 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/207/4/483 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/207/4/474 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/207/4/731 https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/207/4/724

Mike or anyone
What engine is in my ute. Definitely a 216. I think it might be a GMH assembled unit from 1941 Engine Number R118522 Casting Number 3835127 - 066 Just for interest has anybody ever seen one of these overdrives and what make? Not a 5 minute job to fit to a torsion tube. It will save me finding an overdrive gearbox. Chev OD1.jpg Chev OD2.jpg Chev OD3.jpg Last edited by Lang; 10-01-23 at 10:12. |
