Default yes

As soon as I spotted those reinforcing plates, I thought cab 12 , the first C8 I owned , has those same plates .

BTW 84-43X2 what model is that ? Bit hard to read ?

Default Thrill of a find

Floor fuel tap may be salvageable?
Does the round hole in end of bumper narrow anything down?

Default Better pic

I was back down there today recovering more parts of the WW1 era Karrier Lorry
And noticed the rain has cleaned the ARN up and shows it clearly now.

With that and the data plate, I hope someone can identify what model it was.

My HMV directory wasn’t much help.

Definately Cab 12.

Fuel tap appears to be snapped off.

When I get a chance I will rescue anything I can unbolt and backpack up the cliffline.

Cheers

Phill

Pic didn’t go through so here goes...

Don’t worry, I plan to save that ARN panel and any other parts I can carry.

8443 is the Model code for C60L, X2 is the export code for delivery to the UK:

X1 ANY POINT EXCEPT FULLY BUILT UP
X2 UNITED KINGDOM BUILT UP
X3 INDIA CKD
X4 AUSTRALIA CKD
X5 NEW ZEALAND CKD ALTHOUGH ASSEMBLED TRUCKS HAD “XH”
X6 BATAVIA, NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES CKD
X7 UNITED KINGDOM CKD
X8 ANY POINT CKD
X9 SOUTH AFRICA CKD

The "ARN" on the hood side is actually a British WD number, which also points to this being a British vehicle acquired by Australia in North Africa, or received here as Refugee cargo.

The serial number beginning with 18443xxxxx indicates a 1941 Model C60L, ie built in Late 1940.
