Alexander Turnbull photo archive

Mike,

What am I missing? Is there a way to download the high res. versions of the pictures? I tried to save the first F8 picture you posted; it says it is a 9mb file, but I can only manage to save a 75kb version.

Hi Alex

Sorry, I think The AT library pics are available in high resolution but you have to pay !

I use the zoom function on my mouse and take screenshots like this pic.

The driver has a fag in his mouth. The crew of this F8 have made some interesting mods. Did Ford Canada build their own 1A1 bodies ? The Beath built C8 bodies have the POW carrier mounted to the rear plus other differences.

Did you notice the vehicle in the background ?

I am looking for a pic of a CS8 water truck but I cannot find it , I know that pic is in the AT system somewhere, I found the pic some time back but I cannot locate it again.

Hi Mike,

Thanks. I should have read that myself :doh:. Zooming and making screendumps was also the best i could come up with....so at least I can save some of the details of the F8.

It definitely has some interesting mods.....that custom cab tilt and enlarged windscreen is rather "tasty".
I am not sure if Ford made their own 1A1/A2 bodies; I always assumed they were outsourced as the differences I noted are not Ford or Chev specific, but more early vs late....or maybe by supplier.
I think the POW carrier mounted to the left rear is an early feature. Those bodies had the rear rubber lights fitted to the right hand side only(my C8 has that); later ones had lights both left and right, interfering with the POW carrier on the left (?). Other production differences I noted are the strips on the tailgate....fancy rounded strips vs straight strips. I think my C8 has the straight ones.
