No.6 bodies
Alan the No.6 whilst being a lot less common than the Australian Wireless Sigs is not unique by any means with at least two under restoration and some 8 to 10 more in existence. A number of them were converted to a light breakdown configuration after the war by removing the rear body and adding a jib to become the "Metropolitan Wrecker". They were also fitted with dual rear wheels (as were some of the No6 when in service).
In my 2002 DVD "Year of the Blitz" there are some disturbing scenes of a No6 body being demolished and scrapped at Hughes in Coburg. Quote:

Here's a shot of the rear of my No6 Artillery tractor body. The spare barrel compartment is the middle space. It is fitted with rollers to aid the removal and placement of the spare barrel box.
Regards Rick.
