Wanted: Wanted Inter Semi Trailer

I spent the night with him last week and bought his McGrath trailer!

He has a number of K5 but I am hopeful of something a bit closer to running (and preferably a K6) at this stage. He is a very nice bloke very willing to help.

That was quite a coincidence!! Well done on the trailer anyway.

Here are just a few variations on WW2 International cabs that I saw last week. There are several others as well. All these vehicles are KS5 - two speed axles. The first 3 have the back of the cab cut out and replaced with a half-height flat panel with canvas upper section.

1) Open top, individual brass windscreens, reinforced "kitchen cupboard" hinges. Photo taken in Victoria by another forum member some time ago.
2) Open top (tin patched by farmer), no reinforcing on hinges, military bumper.
3) open top, single screen, large "Australian" hinges, civilian bumper.
4) Closed top fixed screen, army style roll down canvas on back window, army stenciling inside bonnet, holes in bumper for spring guard.
5) Closed top wind-out screen, American cab. Fancy 1960's Holden car headlight rings. You can still see the army numbers on the bonnet.

Quite apart from the army modifications there are 3 different types of standard full steel cabs. Look at the creases in the doors under the side windows.

Here is detail of an Army KS6 (The K5 was the same cab)

Would that gmc be for sale by any chance ?

I don't know. I will try to contact him for you.
