hi from aussie
 

Attachment 793941
Hi to all you guys n gals. New to the forum here. We just purchased this one owner '48 truck and plan on a pickup build. It will be our daily driver when finished.
I used to drive a rodded '37 chev sedan as a daily, then an "A" roadster as often as I could, so the '48 should be fun.
Anyhow, as I said, new to here and have found this to be a great site.
Cheers, Bryan and Angela

Re: hi from aussie
 

Hey Codger welcome aboard. Get some interior shots for us. Never seen one with a backwards dash, well backwards from what we are use to seeing.

Re: hi from aussie
 

No, no,no, you guys are the backward ones. We a half a day in front of you for starters. LOL
OK, will try to get time and take some pics in the morning.Thanks for the replys.

Welcome from "Up Over". Someone already stole my wise crack about the steering wheel.

Nice truck & starting point, I haven't seen a right hook factory AD before, does it have a Holden id tag? Where abouts in Austalia?

Re: hi from aussie
 

Yep, it does have a holden ID tag. Ten minutes out of Dimboola, 25 mins past Horsham.
What is an AD??? have seen the term on here a bit. While I am at it, what is the difference between the years, say '47 to '52?
It's good to get back into this chev as I drove a '37 street rodded sedan for about 6 years as my daily driver.http://005.jpg

Advance Design, with a Holden ID chances are it was built here, Fishermans Bend, Dandenong or Adelaide. I'll ask the old man if they built'em here, he worked in GM Dandenong from the 60s until 79, he might know some history on them? Cheers!

Re: hi from aussie
 

Cool, that would be great. The old guy I bought it from has a bit of memory loss going on, & can't remember a lot about it.
