gearbox issue
Problem solved now.
Brought home 2 Ford Blitz trucks yesterday from a farm about an hour away. So now I have 2 gearboxes to play with as well as another flathead V8. I now also have an overflow tank too. The more complete truck had both windows fitted in their frames before we left the farm. By the time we got to my place one had slipped out and dropped onto the tray of the tilt truck. Amazingly it didn't break! Plushy, thank you for your offer but now I will not need to grab a gearbox off you.

more
Here's some pics of the pick up. Both were canadian built trucks. To fit them both on the truck one was chopped in half. The chassis was rusted anyway and after unsuccessfully trying to snap it in half by using the tractors FEL to bend it, the angle grinder was brought out. Job done.
The third one will be retrieved at a later date. It still has the V8 and gearbox fitted and features 20in rims on a SWB.

Third one
Nice, Ryan!
What was the third one? Looks to have had a yard crane conversion, just wondering what wheelbase it was... also have you found any ID details on your new acquisitions? I see as usual the tinworm thrives underneath cypress trees! Was the overflow tank OK?

No worries Plushy.
Working on the front of the chassis today. Removed the hand made supports for the Holden radiator. Bumper cross member will be replaced as the previous owner had cut off the top off it to fit the non standard radiator. Bolts came out fine. Wondering about the rivets. Thinking I will just cut them off with a grinder and replace with with a round head bolt. Were they hot or cold riveted?
