Holden / Chev

Hey first time visitor to the forum and thanks for having me,
I have recently purchased a Holden / Chev truck 1946
Body No : S1866
Model : M14338
Series: 1946
I am on the look out for parts and information to assist with the restoration of this truck. I would be great fun for any info relating to this vehicle.
Some of the bits I am after include an original front seat, Windscreen rubbers, Drivers side door and window , Windscreen Wiper & motor

You've picked a good year and model to do your first resto on. There's so much reproduction stuff available for this vehicle available from the states it's not funny. Start by going on to the stovebolt forum.

If you cant find an original front seat a good motor trimmer will be able to make one to match. Windscreen wiper you will get from Auto Surplus in Mitcham or on-line Try and get a 85 degree one not 110 degree. Probably worth rewiring the whole vehicle to 12volt while you are at it.
Drivers door may be harder to find.

This might give you some ideas.

With all the cameras and videos around today you would think people would learn how to use them, a bit of common sense instead of jerking from one thing to the next. Annoying !

Hi Mick,
I've found pretty much everything available from 'chevsoftheforties.com' and 'classychevy.com' and 'oldchevytrucks.com'
I'm preserving a 42 1 1/2 ton chev ex military lwb. Are u planning a full resto or a tidy up and preservation? From the pic it looks like your truck is in pretty good original condition?
