That picture and another, https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/121/9/40A, show chalk marks on the vehicles. One picture shows "Dunlop" written on a front wheel. For Australians, this would at first glance appear to be a well know tyre manufacturer. However, it also shows up on the fuel tank, and Dunlop were not known to be sheet metal fabricators or fuel tank makers. Perhaps it is the name of a quality control inspector, odd that his name is "writ large", rather than a discreet initial or tick. |

Somebody was asking about 10 stud wheels on another thread. Well here is proof GMH made them.
https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/r...+213/121/9/69B I also spotted the flat head engine . Might be a Inter or Dodge engine , GMH were reconditioning Inters for the army as well as cough cough Ford engines

Nice archive. This picture is damaged or sort of, it refuses to download proper (here at least!), so in case somebody has the same problem and wants it, here it is:

The flat head engines in post 2 are Dodge.
Going by the transfer case lever alongside the handbrake lever they are Weapons carrier engines but not T214 3/4 ton. I am unfamiliar with the 1/2 ton power plant but they had the pedal/s mounted off the engine as these do. David

David, they look like WC 3/4 ton power units to me...............
It has the early draft tube breather. They only has the clutch pedal mounted on the power unit. The brake pedal mounts on a chassis casting. Looking at the airborne Jeep, I often wonder how many died or were maimed for life from vehicle testing?

Of course you are right Lynn, the clutch pedal mounting is bolted to the bell housing. I've always assembled the pedal set up after the engine has been installed due to the cab already being in situ.
The air cleaner appeared to be standing too high as well but looking at the real thing that is how they are. The louvered air cleaner and the small universal on the jack shaft would indicate early T214 3/4 ton. Cheers David
