Spotted this old girl in the travels near Walgett

[I]Hi Andrew.[ I live in Hillston . 12 monyhs ago a friend found an F60L which was saved from the scrappy . I think it may still be there/. You can ring me on 69672241 tonight only as I am off to Corowa , May see you there.I] John.

Found this c15a in the travels yesterday
No plates or visible numbers unfortunately
I suppose this new job and the much larger work area has got some benefits :D

Spotted this 1945 cab 13 F60l today in the travels
reasonable condition with low miles (on the speedo)
A few odds and ends missing

Great find
 

Looks like the engine needs more than a couple of cans of "Start ya bastard!"

It suprised me too a bit though when he gave it a couple of squirts with the start ya bastard (as pictured) turned her over and fired within a couple of turns .Ran reasonably well . He sold it to a collector a couple of months back but not yet collected for the princely sum of $500 .full set of original wheels on the tray area and a few other bits over in the grass
The original canvas door frames had sheets of gal bent on to them and had the curtain frames there as well

Todays finds :thup:
C60l with a bigend out
Chev ute
Ford

Another of the ford

Chev data plate
 

Can't quite read the data plate on the Chev... any more info?

K

You are getting close to Coonabarabran when I start to see you post pictures of trucks I know! Used to drive that old green Blitz as a kid during wheat harvest.

Too right :D
Much closer and you could throw rocks at them over your back fence :salute:

Unfortunately not .Only the one plate and only had the phone and dosent tend to take very clear pictures .Should have written the numbers down :doh:

Todays find
Definately different at least
Cab 12 F15 with handmade bodywork
Apparently by a company in Australia just after WW2
apparently there is another the same somewhere on NSW south coast
Does anyone have any further information or details on these vehicles ?

Similar
 

Sort of has similar lines to the S1 Scout Car doesn't it and is on the F15 chassis, but the differences are too great in other ways.

http://idisk.me.com/oldcmp.net/Publi...428-183828.jpg

Definately nothing resembling factory built
Handmade from bits the guess
Ugly as a hatfull :ergh:
Built on wooden framework
They even removed the cab 12 arches
Cab 13 dash
Different fuel tanks
Added about a foot of wooden floor past the rear of the floor plates with a bench seat over it .probably not a bad idea for at least a bit of legroom :thup:

Chev ute
 

Andrew,
That Chev ute is a 1940 model and could well be ex-Army. Seems to have green paint as well under the other colours. It would make a great MV rally vehicle.
Regards Rick

Andrew it looks like they crossed a F15 with a guy ant
Max

huh !
 

Cannot see any chev ute .... is it a car type version

Mike,
look at no337 of this thread.
Regards Rick

Yes the F15 does have a Ant and S1 look about it
Unusual truck

Todays spot
Federal

Mmmm... D series International late 30's I guess.

After a bit of research on the net Guessing around 1949 Federal model 28a with JXLD Hercules 120 hp engine
Know very little about them to say for sure though

Andrew, I agree. I thought Federal first but was swung by the hubcaps. That model Federal had a Hercules JXC engine.
Rick

Not an International but about a 1949 Federal as Andrew thought. Flat faced cowl with added cab. Nice find Andrew :thup2:

Got the better of me today :mad:
Sick of chasing my tools SO took a bit of blitz time and finally built a mobile tool bench. Got the frame and top and back done today
Just have to get some drawers folded and mounted and should be a one stop tool shop :D

Came across this Ford today
No data plates and a lot of rust
Slight upgrade of powerplant and more than a few other mods :confused

Well!
 

Well I take it back... Look GT! :thup2:You CAN fit a Clevo in a blitz! :thup2:

Looks like...
 

Looks like one of the old ADS sprayers which were mostly on F60S late production chassis.
Howard, don't get any ideas about putting this Clevo in your F15!

Ooohhhh boy!
 

H! we have GOT to get that truck! :thup2: :thup2: :thup2:

It is a bit of a hike for you blokes -60Kms North of Coolah
Would probably be ok if you had another cab to put on it :doh:
looks better in the pictures than it is up close
Serious tinworm :no4:
