  9. Hi again, our Chevy truck has a 235 engine, three speed, it's mostly original, I am however struggling to ID the actual year, there is so much info available on line to ID US built but not Australian, we believe it is 46 going by a website I found that looks at inner fender brackets and the location of the door lock etc, I would post a question in tech asking but I don't have enough privileges to do so.
    I need to find exact year so that I can order parts for it and the parts I want differ through out the years.
    Would appreciate anyone that can shed some light.
    Compliance plate says Chev 160D
    Other one says
    Model 46/4201B
    Cheers

  10. Hello from Echuca Victoria :)
    It's hard to identify a lot of info on any early Ford, Dodge or Chev trucks that's been here since the day it was built.
    Went through this with a F4 cab I picked up a while ago, these trucks were mostly made up from kits imported direct from Canada, can have many differences to regular USA and Canada models as they can have some local parts in them as well.
    Best way to order is via visual identification comparing your old parts to parts catalogue pictures. Also look at some earlier models parts lists as I suspect we were the dumping ground for obsolet parts too.
    Have fun
     
  11. welcome to the show ....
     
  12. Thanks, yes it is tricky - I have asked for measurements of parts I have ordered ie full length running boards to make sure they will fit, Nostalgia Sid is currently doing a lowered Beam for me, hopefully that fits! I have three Aussie built cabs and they all have different info on ID tags and all three have different firewalls - I have no idea why they would have changed the firewalls as all three have plenty of space for all engine options offered back then (only sixes) I agree Richie, I think back in the 40s we were probably throwing together whatever we were sent to make a truck, I read an interesting article on these Holden built trucks apparently assembled by mostly women during the war while the men were at war and they were all meant to be destroyed at the end of the war, but lots sold to farmers at cost pric
     
  13. G'day from down the road....Is that photo in front of Eric Parkers place?
     
  14. G'Day! Yes it is in front of Erics place, drove past it again yesterday on the way to the Sedan swapmeet and there is cars in there now - this pic was obviously taken when the second hand place was there - and when our pick up was still drivable. what part of up the road are you?
