Another cab 12
Just a quick update of the cab 12. I have decided to transform her into a 2 pounder anti tank portee might as well as i have the gun. Would like to see photos of the tray the gun sits on if anyone has any and also the layout of boxes etc. Anyway here is a couple of photos of the resto so far and the not to be done for a couple of years resto.

As for the Portee, search this forum and the rest of the internet, there is quite some material available. I think John Belfield has a restored Portee, so you could get measurements off that one. Looking forward to seeing it completed. H. ford+CMP+2pdr+gun+portee.jpg Australian Ford CMP 2 pdr. gun portee

Hi Shane,
Tim Scrivens has a Cab13 2pdr. anti-tank portee. It looks to be much the same as the Cab12 from the back of the cab. You should be able to get the measurements of it. corowa2009a 087a.jpg Regards Rick

The Belfield Portee
I took these several years ago. It was jammed in so it was difficult to get any good ones.
Pics didn't upload - will try another way.

Lovely work on the truck, Shane. I am looking forward to your updates on the conversion to portee!
Excellent work on the hinges Colin...I was looking at a cab11 recently and the hinges were absolutely terrible....probably suffered from corrosion, than mangled due to the weight of the door and than welded again.  Shanes hinges look very, very nice. Alex

Am I correct in assuming all Cab 12 portees found in Australia are ex-ME vehicles? Or did we receive some new deliveries earlier?
