Truck, tipping 2 1/2 cubic yards Aust

[Darrin Wright]

My Chev C60S 2 1/2 CU YDS Tipper No#4 has a GMH "Commercial Body'' mounted to it, not sure about the hoist within the chassis.
It was made in 4-4-45 Aust M (Melbourne?)
It has 20" split rims on the rear and the offset rims on the front with spacers, the previous owner also produced a few spare 20"rims when I bought it.

Ahh Darrin,
The truck being fitted with the tipper that belongs to Keiths friend is that Ford you were interested in at Bethanga a few years ago.

Hey, Richard, tell him he needs to build it up to what it was ...... a Kitchen. Between you and Keith, you might just convince him of the merits of a true 'restoration' ....

Yes Mike, But....
Can the mobile kitchen carry a load of gravel or firewood. This truck will have some nominal use as a load carrier, and while not 100% original will be very nice indeed.

This truck is now 99.9% finished and should be at the next Corowa, however I got a confused phonecall from the owner last night. He had just finished restoring and fitting the wheel carrier that came with the genuine tipper body, but on adding one of his 10.00-20 tyre/rim, found it would not fit. I am assuming the tippers came out with 900-20 tyres, hence the use of duals??
Am I right?
Rich.

8.25x20, I think (says he without checking....).

Offset front wheels with spacers, dual rear.

Thanks Mike, will pass this information on to the confused owner. He will be relieved to know that senility has not set in....yet.
Rich.

OK, speaking of senility, I just found your previous post up the page where you discuss the tyre size....
