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

Hi
There is a pic of a cab 12 portee on page 146 , in The history of Holden book by Norm Darwin . Looks like a pic taken at GMH plant somewhere. Not sure if this vehicle was ex ME ? Anyway, years ago I met a chap who was a driver in the AIF, he was a ham radio operator too. We chatted about vehicles and he said among many things, he drove 2 pounder portees from GMH Fishermeans bend up to Puckapunyal . His parents house was in Falkner and he stopped at home to show off the truck to everyone . He was in the ME and mentioned he rode captured ALCI ( pronounced AL CHEE ) or similar Italian motorbikes , he said he loved them . I had my copy of observers book with me . Nice old bloke he was Mike

Thanks for the photos lads they look great.
Took the wife and little ones to the Royal Adelaide Show to spend a a little family time together on Father's Day.(Spent much a weekend on the resto so i thought it would be the right thing to do) We saw cattle, wood chopping,show bags,snakes,fireworks and so much more.. 20140907_191317a.jpg 20140907_224643a.jpg 20140907_175302a.jpg Now if this is not a sign from above that i should be working on my truck instead of pushing through thousands of people for over six hours i don't know what is 20140907_152457a.jpg 20140907_152609a.jpg I mean what are the chances people..... Very tempting to go back after hours and get that drivers door for you Tony

The Kruse Cab 12
That truck was rebuilt as a 'replica' of the one in the movie "The Back of Beyond".
It has a few modifications including an extended steering column. Not sure what the black thing is. It wasn't there when I last saw it in Alice Springs. That truck sure gets around! It belongs to Brenton (I think) Kruse, one of Tom Kruse's grand nephews. He lives in Waterloo, S.A.
