Young Ed Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 the headlights look like chevy or GMC the way they are molded into the fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I've never seen a grille like that on a Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hood looks too long for Chev, not a Dodge or Ford. IHC?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 That long hood reminds me of a Hudson pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I would guess a Ford derivative with the down under touch in styling cues especially the truck bed...has them what I think are Richardson (?) rounded corners and lower finishers...

greg g Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Since this was true south Pacific and Australian air force maybe it's a Holden. Pontiac based front sheet metal perhaps. Edited January 3, 2019 by greg g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Its a General Motors product, '41 or early '42, those are the only pre-war years with the headlight buckets in the fenders. The whole two part grill is missing, so can't tell if its Chevrolet or GMC. I'm thinking the North American truck, of course. With that "fancy" box on the back that is not a U.S. product that I can find, I'm guessing Greg is on point with it being an Australian GM product, but I don't know if Holden was around back then, or even built trucks. Could be a cab-on-frame sent overseas that a local company built the box for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
