Just came across this "once loved" van approx 300 metres from home in East Malvern.

Can anyone help with an approx build date? Condition is poor as its been in the open for the last 15-20 years.

I'm 98% certain that there is no cost in its purchase, please PM me if you are interested.

G'day Max, sure is a funny little thing.... ;D, I don't know how you'd pin it down to a date , maybe someone know when they started making that Dexion like channel section used in the chassis , wheels are FE ( 1956/7)thru early HD Holden , but that doesn't help that much as they were not necessarily new when fitted.....good luck with it....Col.

I'll take a copy of the jockey wheel for posterity if it's OK with you Cobber
