I wonder where it is now? crushed and melted I guess. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | Unless the image has been reversed, it's a right hand drive vehicle as well. The GMC badge should be reading wrong if the image was reversed.
Wonder what all in in the front seat area? It looks good now but if the doors were closed, I think you'd see a bit of ugliness in a wide pillar between the door window frames. Probably used front door with little modification. There are no ribs on the rear door jambs, so that's different. You can see vent windows on the rear doors. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | i don't think that's a vent you see on the rear door but a split as in the slider that might have been on the burb in that position, and the reason there's no ribs on the back edge is that the door is shortened [so no rollup window] .... also the ribbed hood shows it as a 57, and the pic that's been reversed is the one from the rear, the others show it is a right drive truck, with the gas filler on the left as usual but opposite the driver as on the vehicles built by GM Canada for export .... as joe says, 3rd party modification, or done by Holden in AU [for military probably, as a radio truck]
