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.

Pat 12 Head for Alice Springs
Hi Stuart and Keith
Thanks Stuart for sharing the photo, has been added to my collection. The tag line and the photo are just great, makes you wonder how many CMPs have past over that road and the stories behind their use. Alice Springs is of course an Australian town that people in the rest of the world can lock on to particularly if they are of my generation. Again thanks for the photo. Cheers Phil

HI all
A few days ago obtained my NOS Cab 12 roof wood and metal all in great condition and will be used on the next project. Today Hugh Davies and i went to pick up the Cab 12 but the tyres were stuffed so we were unable to tow. I guess another drive next week will get things sorted out.. However not all bad news got the Portee  20140909_175915a.jpg 20140909_183958a.jpg 20140913_134426a.jpg 20140913_142414a.jpg 20140913_164632a.jpg

Hi all
Thanks Keith you can get lucky sometimes mate. Does anyone know what kind of timber that was used on the portee floor? Has anyone restored one on the forum? Here a few shots of other things laying around in the same paddock. 20140913_125129a.jpg20140913_134434a.jpg 20140913_141643a.jpg Is the thin metal part laying across the mud guard for wires and is it original? 20140913_140138a.jpg Thanks in advance. Cheers Shane
