Hello fellow Chev truck owners I have just purchased a 1954 Chev Truck Model 1100 which from what I can gather was built for the Australian market by GMH. It is certainly not much to look at and at this stage all I have is a couple of photos, when I return from work this week I am going to have it picked up and towed home then the fun begins. I have joined this forum to find out a little more about my truck and build my knowledge base so I can restore the old girl to it's former glory.
Firstly what I am trying to find is some technical specifications for this truck is the Model 1100 a dedicated Australian type or was it actually built for the USA market also. I do not have much to go on at this stage it would seem to be about a 4 ton rated vehicle mounting dual wheels at the back overall length is about 6.8 metres, 22 ft in USA measurements. Not sure on the engine type but given the vintage I would say a 235 cu inch is likely.
Will find out more when I get it home and hose out all of the Australian Bush nasties hiding in and around the old girl and check the nameplates.
So if anyone could help with specifications that would be appreciated.
Regards,
Turbineman
