Reply With QuoteWhat is the complete chassis number?
The ones you show from Calvin don't match anything in REMLR, when I reassemble them.
Actually, the 6 cyl reference kind of knocks it out of the army ranks too.

A local retired gentleman has approached me today asking if I know the whereabouts of a S2A LWB chassis that he can use to extend and move the rear axle back on his current 2A ute. He wants to cut the back off of his current ute, cut the back off another chassis (closer to the front) then weld the longer rear to his existing ute to extend the length of the wheelbase.
After going to view his ute I had a pleasant surprise, the chassis appears to be military based!?!? He purchased this from a minesite, maybe it was a special order? The chassis is the type that is welded on the corners, not a seam in the middle. I've looked it up on CalVIN and it's definately a 2A. If this is something special I think it would be a sacrilidge to cut it up. He says he would be happy with a 130 if he could get one instead.

Thanks for the reply, the complete number is 34707237G. It is a utility with a different rear crossmember which looks original?, I should have taken a photo of the rear.
It's not a one tonner is it?

I have a Series III in Alice Springs that has already been extended to about 140 inches... Interested?
Not an army number.............. but my guess would be a one tonner too.Originally Posted by TJWA

If you PM me some photos and what you're after I'll hand it to him, he's computer inept!
Master
From what I've read I believe it is a one tonner! Amazing, I thought there was only a few imported to Australia, they must have been a special order by the minesite. I'm off to take some more photos...

Good. If possible get photos of the gearbox/transfer case and front and rear axles/diffs.

OK, I have some more information.
The original rear diff blew, he replaced it with a Salisbury.
The gearbox wasn't quite right, he replaced it and the transfercase with a S3 box and transfercase.
He replaced the engine with a Holden 186. Why, I'm not sure.
He didn't like the old front grille, so he replaced it with a Series 3 plastic one to give it a more modern look.
The rear tray was originally wood with steel sides, he replaced that with an aluminium tray.
Like the Ex Military I bought locally, he has used it for years as a "wood truck". He wants to cut the rear of the chassis off and make it longer to cart more wood.

Can you doublecheck the numbers.
As there is a Pressed metal Corp plate in the glovebox next to the vehicle ID plate that certainly denotes some of it was assembled in Sydney. If it had a wooden tray that is typical PMC although concurrently aluminium trays were availabe.
So some of it is a Military specification 2A chassis and some is a cream civilian firewall. The chassis number is on the rear passenger's side spring hanger. The number you have quoted is about the end of 1969 - early 1970.
I did see one One-Ton at a LROC Sydney meeting in the early 1970s. It had been driven overland by some Land Rover employees. Other than that none were imported for sale. The vehicle was later sold in Melbourne and its present wherabouts are unknown to me. It had 9.00x16 tyres, all the One Ton stuff - front and rear ENV differentials, from memory a special prototype (I think Series 3 but don't hold me to it) gearbox, rear drive and a powered trailer!
