I guess the tray under the second one means it's a Ford?

Excellent - a National Forge and Ordnance 37 mm AT Gun (see help identify Dutch AT Gun).

Great pics Campbell, thanks.

No, but the cab and chassis indicate a Ford. These trays were all built by Holden - the one on the F15A has been modified with patches over the wheel valances. Many of these trays had lockers there.

Keith,

I think Lynn was refering to the drip trays under the Ford, infuring that products of that company have problems with retention of their fluids. :p

Oh yeas...
 
Oops - y'know I can only call that a senior moment on my part - I now recall looking at it when Lynn first posted and thinking "yeah - right" but this morning, at around 5.30AM when I saw it I must've been half asleep! DUH!:o

While Fords may require drip trays to catch falling liquids, GM products are trained to use boxes filled with kittylitter to catch the occasional drop of oil.

Take a look under my C60 at an environmentally conscious setting such as national parks.

Oil leaks
 
Old vehicles seem to be rather prone to oil leaks - with the rear main engine oil seal often causing trouble with Fords - when I drove a FGT from Sydney to Melbourne in the 70s oil on the clutch became such a poblem the journey was only just completed with top gear only possible going downhill with a tailwind and minimum throttle!
Other places for leaks are transfer case lower seals, pinions, and in partucular the gearbox tyre pump is a bad culprit.

Keith,

Don't worry, that is what is called a "Senior moment", I get a few, but hope no one has spotted them :)
