I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

These are said to be 1948 models but a small number were built in 1939. It is unlikely that any of these were exported. Production stopped until after the Second World War and resumed about 1948. The model continued in production until the interim model LC4. (an LC3 with an Austin derived motor from the A70, released in 1952 or 1953 depending on which history you read)
The truck driven by the character Claude Greengrass was the later LC5, easily distinguishable by the wider bonnet and the headlights set into the mudguards, instead of being on stalks out from the radiator surround. This also had the A70 motor.

The LC3U (utility) that had a steel sided ute tub as big as, or larger than, American utes of the time, also had 16inch wheels. These wheels required a lower ratio differential to give reasonable road speed and restorers often look for the diff or complete rear axle from a sixteen inch model to run twenty inch wheels, thus gaining about 10 kilometers of road speed at the expense of acceleration when loaded.
