morning everyone, Thanks Richard, I'ts good to know that there's help out there and by crickey I'll need it. I can see a trip to the pucka museum coming up with my trusty camera, laptop, tape measure and steel rule and about 2 days of going over every nut ,bolt and rivett. One good thing is that at least there is one here for me to see in the flesh. I took some pics this morning and they show english track one side and aust track the other. If it does take the aust track then it will be easier for me to fit out.
Thanks everyone for you input to date. regards Colin.

It pays to advertise.
Well the border raiding is on again. This time from Victoria to Northern NSW and reverse. Carrier 2217 has gone to a new home in Guyra and a very good No.6 Artillery Body has come home to Gippsland for my WO-78.
A quick sign on the back of the load not only told others what was on the trailer, but also resulted in 3 leads for the future. The UHF Ch.40 sign also let the truckies know that they could talk to me and me to them, so everyone knew what was going on and passing was easier. The police also called in for a chat and so did the NSW RTA. A 2716km. round trip at 5.6km/L. or 15mpg. wasn't too bad as I was pretty loaded up both ways. That new England Highway has some BIG hills too. Up Moonbi Hills it was 1st gear and 30/35km/h. luckily there were roadworks and the speed limit was 40km/h. so I didn't hold anyone up there. One big load was seen at Murrurundi. 8.8metres wide on 88 trailer wheels. Traffic around Sydney was really bad. 2 1/2hr. for 64km. So much for the Hume Highway. Should have been Hume Carpark. Needeed now are two doors for a No6. Artilery Body. Regards Rick.

Glad I was home here, Robert. Only +5c yesterday and a top of 16c.
I didn't have Alpine diesel either so wouldn't have got away until a lot later. Regards Rick.
