[38 coupe]

Australia, like many countries, had laws on vehicles sold in country requiring locally built parts. This typically resulted in locally built bodies on commercial vehicles, as seen above. Usually these locally built bodies share few to no parts with vehicles built outside their home country.


At the risk of drifting the conversation, that Australian truck is interesting. It has the newer front sheet metal, but the older 38-39 three ribs on the belt line of the doors, and the three ribs are continued down the side. Is this made from a cut down tonner panel truck with later hood and grill swapped on?
