C15 Wireless truck
 
I have been looking around the country side of Victoria (Aust) lately for vehicles etc and folowing up leads that I should have done long ago. I have a bit of time to do so since being side tracked in Iraq. I will post several photos of interesting vehicles.
The first is this C15 wireless truck located on the Maldon to Ballarat road. The bloke who owns it bought it from a farmer who had chopped the body and converted it into a super spreader (fertiliser). The interesting point about this truck is that the data plate is not fully stamped, the cabin/truck markings are still visable and it was riginally painted in camoflage (2 or 3 tone I am not sure).

The last photo of this vehicle is the vehicle ARN and bridge weight located on the upper panel in front of the drivers window, very hard to make out, so will not guess for you (forgot to write the details at the time of the photo)

Data plate
 
The reason it's not complete is because it was a Sydney build vehicle. For some reason they never stamped the date on any I have seen.

WO73 identifies it as a C15 wireless signals... WO12 was the C15A version.

Another!

Again, note no assembly date! Each plant did their own thing, right up to 1958!
