Still learning here, looks good though.
2/3 restoration completed, so the ad stats.
Is it a cab 11 or 12?
It's 4x2 by the look of it.

But 8CWT! Rarer still!!

So it's a Chevrolet C8. Mike Kelly has one - the tricky part is the 13" tyres.

Don't know if this is the right time to be buying a truck from Lismore.

"This one-in-five-year flood was the first test for the recently completed flood levee wall protecting the Lismore Central Business District.

The levee wall, completed in March this year, was hailed a success by government, emergency services and local businesses.

Around midday Thursday it was thought the flood waters would exceed the 10.95 metre height of the wall and so the city was evacuated.

However, the Wilson River peaked at 10.2m at 10pm on Thursday 30th June in Lismore, just half a metre short of spilling over the levee wall."

Can't find it right now, but we've seen it on MLU here once before. 'Bout time an Aussie MLU'er saves it before it's flooded and drifts away!

It may well have moved to a new location of it's own accord then!
