Folks,

RAAF refuelling Dutch C47, around 1945 (pic from 40 jaar luchtvaart in Indie).
Is the vehicle to the right a Truck, 3 ton, 6x6, Aircraft Refueller (Aust.) (GM C60X)?
Enjoy,
Nuyt

Nice photo. Yes the truck on the right is a C60X RAAF refueler. The other of course is an American Army Airforce GMC-CCKW 6X6 refueler.

I took this pic of a surviving C60X refueller at Pine Creek in the Northern Territory in 1996 or 97. I couldn't get a closer pic because of a couple of ginormus dogs guarding it.
Cheers

C60X

That's a nice intact one!
The lifting slings on these 1944 models are on front and rearmost axles. There were only about a hundred of these built.

Here's one in Melbourne in 1974

The things you could hide......

Can you imagine all the stuff you could hide from Customs in side the tank when crossing the USA/CDN border after returning from a trip down to see Phil Waterman at the truck shows.......?????
