2017 Annual Corowa Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering

[Ganmain Tony]

Another fabulous week.

Got home Sunday, truck went like a train, just keeps getting better and better to drive.

Great to meet some new young enthusiasts and see the same old faces as well.

Just not quite enough time to spend with everyone you'd like to.

The entrant has put KB International. Could it be a KB-5 or KB5.

He told me it was a KB but that was as far as I know a post-war series. The military ones were KS5, usually just called K5.

Same truck, but the "S" means 2 speed Eaton rear diff.

Many of those wartime Inters had the composite cab with a sunroof , the cab has a wooden frame .The K3 and larger models have apparently survived in good numbers but the lighter types are rare for some reason . Many moons ago, in 1977 , a club member found a unusual little military K1 ute, this ute had the sunroof cab . I've never seen another like it - the vehicle I remember was in Clayton where I looked it over but its wherabouts today , I also recall a military K2 with its original wooden/angle iron GS body up near Yea - again its fate is unclear, I know a club member bought it but I think it ended up scrapped
