Chev
 

Yes.

I love them actually. And Fords too. :thup2:

:eek: :eek: :eek:

The word "traitor" echoes in my head . . . or should us Ford adepts call it "adultery"?!?

Maybe we should defriend :D

H.

Defriend?
 

LOL, no I don't think that's necessary... the Chev belonged to my parents who purchased it from our local fuel delivery guy - he'd had it since new.

Here's a pic of it around 1980. It's been in a barn for many years now.

Oh, it's a orphan adopted by the family. In that case I'll give you benefit of the doubt. . . . ;)

Nice personalized license plate though.

Rod

Would you believe...
 

It was the plate it was issued with in 1947. Pure chance!

Nice looking truck Keith :thup2:
If you need a spare I can find out the owner to this other one

After an extremely hot day in the shed last monday I decided to address the temperature problem by finding a old swampy Air conditioner ,repairing it to operational status and making a mobile frame.Works a treat :thup2:

A hunting we will go, A hunting we will etc... etc...
WOW had a great day out blitz spotting today ,a whole pile of interesting things were found :thup2:
Here is a sample of todays endevours

missed one

What is this ?
looks like a bomb crate but made of wood

... i just read an article in the CMV Nov 2009 edition. It looks like a container for a WW2 Welbike!

See pic here, source.

Nice Find
 

Nice Aus wireless! Unusual to see the back cut where this one is... should make reassembly with another back relatively easy! :cheers:

Could be Chris .looks very similar :salute:

container..
 

andrew it is for sure, this is a welbike container used to drop welbikes to the airborne troops. I eager to know what you going to do with it, restoring or..
I am collecting airborne stuff for some 29 years now and have some containers my self. if you ever want to sell... maybe you want to think of me.:blink:
the parachute is attaced to the rings on the righthand side and on the other side there was a sort of cussion to soften the landing of the container on the ground. (see my pictures)
hope this helps.
cheers jaap
