Interesting picture! That's not the wooden body off a "Truck, 15-cwt, G.S. (AUST.), No. 1", is it?

Hi Hanno, Yes it is a No 1 wooden body. I recovered it from the salt lake about 1997. It is in my yard here in Kulin. It has just about fallen apart totally now but all the steel brackets, gussets, etc are in good condition except for those on the tailgate which was open and lying in the salt.

I have made measurements of all the wooden parts and one day will draw them up properly and make them available on the web. "One day" :

The back of the chassis and the rear axle from this truck are in use as a trailer on another farm near to where I recovered the cab and body. I believe that the engine, gearbox, front axle and anything else left were bulldozed into a rubbish pit about 25 years ago.

Cheers
Rod
