this is the truck I am modeling (Aussie Chev) It is a 30cwt (30 hundred weight) Canadian built Maple Leaf Chevrolet. They were inported as cowl and chassis units and fitted with locally made cabs and rear bodies. This one is in Australian green all over where as I will paint mine in the unusual 3 colour camo.

The one you are scratching looks better than the real deal Lord Roo . Thanks for the pic and the little write up along with it Cliff. This helps me to follow your in progress pic threads on scratching this one. Thanks.
ps: Do they still put the steering wheel on the "wrong" side down there???

ummm, the lens in that pic is the wrong style for that vehicle. Maybe if you put the correct one on, it would look more real :-)

PS - (I'm just joking with ya Roo) I like the looks of that truck, and don't think I've ever seen one before. Thanks for the pic!
