G’day Oiltreader,

I’m pretty sure that the war time snaps are Chev’s,they are called ‘Monkey Nose’ Chev’s due to the strange bonnet set up. Ford may have also assembled some too. There is another simular 4x4 called a Chev ‘Blitz’ that Ford also assembled.

Cheers Jamie

My first thoughts were Morris but in wartime the same wd spec would be issued to several manufacturers hence the same looking vehicle would be made by many firms and not badged to identify---------------Toshboy

Went for a drive around the town on the way home I was followed by a police car.I pulled over by the football ground ,they passed me & carried on. Got home & my mother was ballistic but my old Dad couldn’t have cared less. :laughing:
