Ganmain Tony · #**422** 26-03-11, 12:11

Can you check if any of those Chevs have those bloody cast brake shoes Andrew??

Might be be easier to spot a wild pig flying.......

If you hear a Winjeel flying over Ganmain tomorrow I'll probably be in it heading for Temora.

Is there any markings on the outside of the drum or axle that identify which type it is that you want ?
Hopefully he will find tank i am looking for so will get back out there then

Ganmain Tony · #**425** 26-03-11, 12:47

I'll keep and eye out Keefy

I was only kidding Andrew but of course if you are going back I'd be grateful if you could have a sticky beak.

I cant say I know of any special marks Andrew. A lot of the Chev guys I spoke to a Corowa call it a Timken axle.

On the backing plate this brake shoe set up is like a Ford Blitz with Cams at the bottom and also further up the backing plate for minor and major shoe adjustments. So the adjusters (where you might put a socket) are visible from the outside.

The Fargo is a 1939 model. I'd love to know if it saw military service?

Keith Webb · #**430** 29-04-11, 11:06

Maybe these could be fodder for the scrappers in place of some precious CMPs.

Well.................
You called me on it

Latest addition to the collection .I have shown it before but previous owner didnt want to sell at time but new owner did

Keith Webb · #**433** 29-04-11, 11:48

It's almost a golden colour too.
Nice C60L dropside with winch by the look of it. Well done.

Well done.

Yes they are getting a bit hard to hide now .Rounded out to 12 or 16 if you count non rolling

If anyone is interested in some of my trucks I would part with some of them

Thanks Andrew , I have a Early 50`s Commer Bantam that has the same cab as the Qx series which were made from 48 to early 60`s and i need a replacement cab or one that can supply a decent lower half for the rebuild .

Grandfather and Great Grandson

Finally got both the GT's in the shed

Arguably the first FGT in Oz and one of the last

Keith Webb · #**441** 03-05-11, 12:42

Excellent work Andrew!

Depends on which one you are chasing

The restoration cost on the C8 i am working on might scare most people

Keith Webb · #**444** 03-05-11, 22:26

But you've already got one!

I suppose I can't talk! If another FGT were to come across my path I think I'd be obliged to have it too.
The C8 (or its sister the F8) is a particularly interesting version - I'd love to have of of either variety too. Come to think of it, why not one of both, particularly the lovely British bodied passenger version.

aj.lec · #**448** 04-05-11, 11:45

Brought the C8 transporter home today

ARN RAAF 208379
And as a pleasant surprise the motor isnt stuck as first feared .got home ,got a crank and it turned over

Found that starter gear was still engaged causing it to appear seized

aj.lec · #**449** 29-05-11, 04:54

A few unissued parts fell off the FGT cab 11 today

Bob McNeill · #**450** 29-05-11, 10:48

Good to see progress on this rare unit, keep up the good work.
