Great photo's... cant believe I didnt get the chance to meet you. Like the pic's of the inside of the truck...

You havent got any, per chance of the outside ???

Thanks Graeme, pretty comprehensive look at the Corowa vehicles, we put it to the (totally unbiased ) vote up here and it seems that the Champ was the most stand out of your photo's.......

Hi
Is that the Willys MA that Tom Rolfe? helped to restore ? If it is the same vehicle , I believe it was found in a orchard in NSW some years ago, it had been made into a orchard tractor with a articulating trailer . We do know that when the US forces arrived here in Aust. early 42, they did bring Ford GP's and Bantams etc ..... some of these vehicles were even repaired in Melbourne . Very few of these early Jeeps remained behind after the yanks left . A Ford GP did turn up up near Yea in Vic. the early 1970's ....... because it was such a odd ball thing, nobody wanted it at the time

Yes that's the one Mike. The story is in the Year of the Jeep DVD.

For posting those....

Funny owning, restoring and driving a truck is that you rarely see it from the outside.

Need to sit down with a few beers and just look at it for a few hours.
