No, the 31 series aren't in the AWM books, they are held at Bandiana. These have been partially recorded on REMLR, but not completely yet. No listing shown for 31-848, which may not have been "of interest" if it was listed as a CL Sedan!

This series of F truck were built in Brisbane from 1981-86, so if the ARN was transferred, the Sedan didn't stick around for long. What manufacturer were they? Datsun 200B's?

Tony, have not got a clue other than the description provided.

The plates for 31-848 were re-applied/re-issued in June 1981 to the F250.

Hi Mike/Tony,
Do you guys know if one of these F250's are on display or held by the museum at Bandiana? or are they just too new for that?.

Thanks.

Hi Guy's,
I have located a further 2 pictures of one which went to auction in Victoria a few years ago.

Hi,
I have received information suggesting that the rear bodies used on the F series were recycled from the AT4 4x2 Dodges and c1200 Inter's. Does anyone have detailed pictures of these so as to confirm the intel
The picture I have is of poor quality when enlarged making it difficult to examine closely. The only other photo I can find is from Bart Vanderveen's book.

Thanks.
