Don't know about QLD pot holes but on some sections of the Gunbarrel Highway the corrugations are that deep the kangaroos lay in the shade in the bottom of them.
Oops, seem to have wandered off topic again.
Speaking of parts persons that started out as enthusiasts and know their stuff, that is Ross Prince's story. Few people would know WW2 vehicle parts better than him.

Default A useful maintenance manual

A rather nice Ford maintenance manual arrived in the mail today. It deals with mostly military variants of civilian vehicles, but there are a couple of models which don't seem to have any obvious defence modifications (not shown here).

Cover is a bit ratty, with a chunk missing from lower corner, out of shot. A quick flick through has shown some familiar territory. Nice to see most of the illustrations show steering wheels on the right side, though there are some vehicles which are LHD. A little evening reading before bedtime!
