Default pic

Found this pic of a 1940 version. It is fitted out to carry a WS 101 . The various fitments are probably 'ad hoc' in nature . I have one of the antenna bases , I sketched some drawings of it .

Some 1939 models went into army service (cameo grill) , a member of the VMVC used to attend many outings with his 39 version , it had a home made rear body on it and a 49 motor fitted . It was a real 'roughy' but it did get around to many outings back in the late 70's to early 80's.

Default Update?

Tony, what's the latest on this project almost two years on?

I take it there was no transfer to the Adelaide Hills.

Default Dabs on your truck!!

Hi Tony
I see you took the precaution of starting a new thread just in case I claimed shares "dabs" on your find!!! Great great machine and thanks for photos. Next time you are out lovingly going over her could you snap a few shots of the soft top mechanism for me please. Thanks.

Nigel

Default Time capsule

What a great find...

Mike I though you might have acquired that Junee one by now - you didn't give up did you ?

Tony - is there any difference between the cabin on these utilities and the Marmon Herrington gun tractors?
I recently rescued an almost cab with canopy bows and though it was a gun tractor ?

Cheers

Phill
