1940 Break Down Chevrolet Holden MCP

[Lionelgee]

Hello All,

Attached is an image sourced from the Australian War Memorial collection.

Does anyone know if there are plans available for the breakdown section of the truck?

How many of these 1940 Holden/Chevrolets would there have been?

Also what tonnage would the trucks be rated at? (Sometime later ...) from the second photograph's description they were 3 Ton

There seems to be very few photographs of the rear of these vehicles that show the details of the crane mechanism. I will keep hunting though!

Kind Regards
Lionel
