LOOK WHAT I FOUND

Stupid question-Would you guys definitely agree that the van would have been built in Australia due to the door being on the left hand side when towing or is there another explanation ie Built for importation???

I'd say that 'proves' it was built in Australia.

As it seems to be such a close copy of the Modern Mechanix article, I think you'd be right to think it was a homebuild, though by somebody pretty competent!

You Asked:

Just for interest, does anyone know what month of the year the article of
Runlite (2.7mb) Modern Mechanics Magazine How-To-Build-It 1938 Edition was?

Well, after spending some time L@@king .... L@@king
I found your date and this article was pulled from the
May issue (How ever this says 1937?) May be a type-O?
Modern Mechanix magazine ......
had the "Runlite Trailer" article.

Anyone got the large size scans of this article? I can't seem to figure out how to download them from the vintage trailer site.
