I haven’t got any so a will be looking for the full set.

I got mine off a guy in Qld called Wayne Kotz. The contact details I have for Wayne seem to have changed, so perhaps you could contact him through MLU Member Oztankboy, who I understand drifts within his circle.

Was the single stop light, thats located on the inside of the two light back right hand side, a red colour as well....the same as the back two red tail lights? I have researched it a bit from here but I thought I read somewhere it was green but carnt find the post again.

I spotted the rear three light set up on a post by Tony smith.

Had rain here today (still going) and out of absolute boredom, decided to see if tools for this project had any marking when new? Found a few pictures and one of interest I have posted here of New Zealand Army store depot Guadalcanal. Noticed the new shovels and spades on the left and did the same to this one.

Thanks to Mike Kelly for his C8AX tray plans I am starting to bend the tray up this Wednesday.

I love these little attentions to detail! You realise you will now also have to carry a rusty shovel for digging latrines Ron

Probably done to stop those thieving Aussies from borrowing them long term

Probably to stop comtaminating Aussie Pits with Kiwi Droppings!

Mick, shouldn't you have marked the shovel with the same tac number as the truck? Now it looks like YOU'VE nicked the shovel from another unit!

Thanks Tony for the guidance with the colour of the lights. (And you’re right, I should have put a 102 on the shovel, I thought the 20 was a item number or something! With the rain we had I was on a two day bender so didn’t pay much attention)

Cut the rust out of the back of the rear of cab and had it in one spot on roof rear. All painted green now anyway. Fitter rang up and I can pick the engine up so will do just that Friday. Made a start on the C8AX tray from the plans Mike Kelly sent me.

Good job you are doing there Mick
