Tony, thanks for the extremely interesting information. Yours are the first photos I've seen of the tracked Truck recovered in FNQ apart from the small pic that appeared in an old issue of 'Wheels & Tracks' some years ago. I wonder if it could be restored with a pair of refabricated steering arms for the idler, and half a dozen LP2A rear bogie units. It looks like it has more of the steering tie-rods intact than the Pucka one, and wasn't fitted with the marker light guards.
I too couldn't find any markings on the TT at Pucka, even though I spent a few hours looking and measuring the vehicle. It's a unique piece of Oz MV history and the totally home-grown aspect of it really appeals to me a lot (like the Sentinel).
Not wanting to hijack Nigel's book thread, perhaps a new thread just for the TT should be started?
Steve.
