| Euan McDonald's Wireless van |
See page on the Holden bodied Chevrolet Wireless
vehicles. |
|
|
| In July 2003 Euan McDonald purchased this Wireless van project from Heathcote.
It's a Holden-built body which is mounted on a F15 chassis. These bodies
only appeared on Chevrolet C15 or C15A chassis. Euan plans to mount this
on a C15A chassis. |

|
|
| Series 1 Land-Rover provides the power to tow the chassis to the trailer
for loading. |
The body is reasonably sound, with minor rust in the lower sections and
some water damage inside. It is missing the mudguards and toolboxes. The
body has been neatly cut from the cab at the step, meaning a reasonably
straightforward mating to a new cab. |

|
| The trailer's winch is used to load the truck. |
The trusty GMC provides the motive power. This truck has moved many CMPs
in it's day. |

Same view after clearing the parts revealing original benches. The floor

Rear view shows steps (stowed). Brackets on right were for a fitting carrying
the pioneer tools. |
