Australian recovery unit Middle East 1942. Australian ute but where did the flares and dual wheels come from. Chev or Ford probably. Looks like Australia invented the dually pick-up! Or were Australian Army workshop blokes the first hotrodders?
Any Ideas? Lang Last edited by Lang; 10-02-19 at 08:18. |

Hi Lang
Yes I've seen that pic. Looks like a Aust. 1940 Ford coupe ute ( split rear windows ) fitted with unusual rear wheels possibly 900-13.

I think you are close. It looks like they have just cut the rear guards/fenders out to fit the wheels. Lang |

I looked at one of those utes during a Corowa event years ago. The little town between Corowa and Albury , NSW side of the river. The chap wasn't home but he had a junk yard with lots of stuff . He was selling a 1 ton army Ford 01Y but he had the coupe ute in the yard. The coupe ute was restorable but needed a lot of work.
