David, I believe all the rear bodies were built here, none being supplied from Canada.

Spare tyres
Good day,
Question for the experts, did the C8AX have a spare tyre? The only one that is shown with a spare, that I can see on this forum is the one in post 117 at Coonamble. I am asking that question because the wheels are hard to find and if they didn't carry a spare that is one thing less to find. Are the fuel tanks normal C15/15A/60L tanks or are the fillers a little bit different? Cheers Ken.

Nice image Hanno. I wonder if NZ24990 is a survivor?
Is the 4th one a radio shack?

Interesting to see the different tyre mounting variation on the first vehicle compared to the rest in the lineup.

The front one is set up for longer tyre life on road, the other two for running in mud. Reality is" put those wheels on those trucks...............at the double!"

I was reading this thread when i learnt there was a C8AX ambulance with a slightly lengthened body. I have been aware of this very poor photo showing an RNZAF ambulance at Jacquinot Bay in 1944. I alway thought the body looked a bit long for 8/15cwt but not long enough for 30cwt.

This led me to search this site. So proof at least one served overseas.  PR6736.t5ea48e08.m600.xAnfr-P3H by tankienz, on Flickr
