Hello from MIKE,
I recently came accross one of the lit=
tle CMP C8AX Chevrolets that were
shipped CKD to New Zealand where GM in Wellington fitted a locally built =
GS body.
The serial no is 377 and the date =
of manufacture is 5 / 5 / 43

Apparently these vehicles went to the=
Soloman islands with NZ forces. At wars end
a surplus company called TOKORINA spares shipped many of the vehicles to =
SYDNEY for sale.

The C8AX has 6 stud wheels like the =
HU series. I hope to restore the vehicle
that i found, it has the remains of the NZ made GS body with it, which =
is good enough for a pattern.

I hope this is of interest to other=
s . BYE from MIKE
