NOTES: |
|
| Converted to Chevrolet 6cyl petrol & 4sp Chevrolet synchromesh gearbox by Kalamunda BS (which accounts for why most sources have incorrectly recorded this Thornycroft as a Chevrolet) | | | | | When modified, the Thornycroft bonnet, radiator & grille were retained; due to the smaller Chevrolet engine, a second radiator was fitted approx 45cm behind the Thornycroft radiator | | | | | Nicknamed `The Matchbox` | | | | | De-registered prior to MTT takeover | | | | | Not operated by the MTT | | | |
