On another note, the Aussie '47 Chevy light truck or utility was built on the '42 sedan frame, allowing the light truck of that year to have independent coil suspension up front.
Was that the same for US 47's? There were no Australian sedans built during the war years and GM Australia had a large stock of sedan frames.
The engine is the same as for the 42 truck, would the cab and associated parts fit the 42 sedan frame.
I have a 47 Chevy utility that I'm wrecking for parts, all complete except for the engine, gearbox, radiator, front fenders and grille, but in poor condition.
