A few more from recent spotting mission
A couple of chevs
fargo's
Chev crane -more bedford than chev

While you're there....
 

Can you check if any of those Chevs have those bloody cast brake shoes Andrew??

Might be be easier to spot a wild pig flying.......

Wild pigs flying
 

If you hear a Winjeel flying over Ganmain tomorrow I'll probably be in it heading for Temora.

Is there any markings on the outside of the drum or axle that identify which type it is that you want ?
Hopefully he will find tank i am looking for so will get back out there then

That would be VERY helpful
 

I'll keep and eye out Keefy

I was only kidding Andrew but of course if you are going back I'd be grateful if you could have a sticky beak.

I cant say I know of any special marks Andrew. A lot of the Chev guys I spoke to a Corowa call it a Timken axle.

On the backing plate this brake shoe set up is like a Ford Blitz with Cams at the bottom and also further up the backing plate for minor and major shoe adjustments. So the adjusters (where you might put a socket) are visible from the outside.

Out and about again and spotted some interesting vehicles
ALL vehicles shown here are for sale if anyone is interested PM me
fargo
F500
Inter AA120
Inter AB110
also had another F600 ,commers and assorted bits

Quite rare Inter all wheel drive .Missing a lot but given the piles would be findable on the farm most likely

1934-35 ? Studebaker

The Fargo is a 1939 model. I'd love to know if it saw military service? :thup2:

Maybe...
 

Maybe these could be fodder for the scrappers in place of some precious CMPs. :yappy:

:ergh: NOT THE FARGO Keith! don't mind if the rest went though :note:

Well.................
You called me on it
I must admit I made a purchase of the real gold in the pile :thup2:
Latest addition to the collection .I have shown it before but previous owner didnt want to sell at time but new owner did :D

Congratulations
 

It's almost a golden colour too.
Nice C60L dropside with winch by the look of it. Well done.

Thanks
Yes full winch and fairleads
Luckily not priced as gold though :thup2:
Quite good original fitment condition
RAAF blue under the bonnett
Will try to find ARN numbers when I get it home

aj blitz's
 

I don't think there are any meds to help you with your cmp disease aj.

Well done. :thup2:

Hi Andrew any photos of the Commers ??

I didnt take any but I will take some when i pick the C60L up .The Commers were later 1960,s cabover models

Yes they are getting a bit hard to hide now .Rounded out to 12 or 16 if you count non rolling :doh:

If anyone is interested in some of my trucks I would part with some of them

Thanks Andrew , I have a Early 50`s Commer Bantam that has the same cab as the Qx series which were made from 48 to early 60`s and i need a replacement cab or one that can supply a decent lower half for the rebuild .

Grandfather and Great Grandson

Finally got both the GT's in the shed :thup:

Arguably the first FGT in Oz and one of the last

GTs
 

Excellent work Andrew! :note: :cheers: :thup2:

Sold
 

So you are selling the C8 to me then

Depends on which one you are chasing :D
The restoration cost on the C8 i am working on might scare most people :doh:

C8
 

But you've already got one!

One of the Commers
Grille is on property at vehicle area
Couldnt get down to the other 2

So what? :confused
One can never have too many CMPs! :D

Agreed
 

I suppose I can't talk! If another FGT were to come across my path I think I'd be obliged to have it too.
The C8 (or its sister the F8) is a particularly interesting version - I'd love to have of of either variety too. Come to think of it, why not one of both, particularly the lovely British bodied passenger version.

Brought the C8 transporter home today :D
ARN RAAF 208379
And as a pleasant surprise the motor isnt stuck as first feared .got home ,got a crank and it turned over :cheers:
Found that starter gear was still engaged causing it to appear seized

A few unissued parts fell off the FGT cab 11 today :D

unissued
 

Good to see progress on this rare unit, keep up the good work.
