Did anyone notice the body on the GS 3 tonner NZ 26493 ?
It looks like it is a longer version of the C8AX body , built by the NZ Govt. railways workshops during 1943 .
A friend in NZ mentioned that C8AX's were still in service in the army as late as 1968 .
Old vehicles , both mil and civilian , were kept in service in NZ , because of the high replacement costs .
I have postred the C8AX story on our club website
