Let me start by saying I do not know much at all about the old Chevy trucks from the late 30's to late 40's. But here are my thoughts.. I located a 1956 Chevy 4x2 panel van/Suburban truck. It has heavy springs,the longer wheelbase and 8 lug axles. I am considering building a LRDG Chevy look alike out of it. I think I can find the front clip and fenders off a 40's chevy for the front.. The back would be a fairly easy fabrication.
Is the 4x2 30cwt frame the same length as this Suburban? What motor was in the LRDG ? I have not been able to locate very many specifics on the 30cwt.. I know many times they just changed the sheetmetal and used the same drive line/frame for many years.
NOTE: The truck I found is longer than the black and white chevy pictured. It was a panel truck of some kind..
