Har! Har! Har! Har! Staying Alive
A FWD-HAR is still clinging to a shaky existance in the Australian scrub, despite not having run for years and having been cannabalised for parts. The diffs were apparently a weak point on these vehicles, and this truck is missing the whole complete rear axle, although it appears mechanically complete otherwise with a few small items missing from the Waukesha engine. The body is missing a few panels and the doors, but is remarkably rust-free.

As mentioned in the link in post #8 above, the Australian Army used the FWD-HAR as a part of the "Radar Train", which consisted of 2x FWD-HARs and a Chev C60L CMP towing ZP-I and APF radar trailers and a Generator. There are now 3 known APF radar trailers in the area, so maybe it follows that there are some more HARs to be located?

Another shakey existence in the background
Any pictures of the treasure in the background? It's sad to see a FWD in such straits. There are too few of these in captivity. I can remember back in the 70s in sawmill country they were always known as "Waukeshas" as nobody knew the correct name I suppose.

 Yes, also patiently waiting for the Resurrection is a Ford F60L with a Cab 11 or 12. I don't know what internal ID points there are to ID the cab type, and much of the front cowl is gone for my usual points of recognition. There's not a lot left on this one, it's basically a cowl and chassis.

Although it has escaped the attention of the Scrap Metal merchants over the last few hectic years, it's clear that someone has been picking the body clean. The bones are scattered around the place with most of the good stuff gone or rusted on solid.
All the dots and dashes on the chequerplate floor are sharp and crisp with no wear, indicating that this truck might not have seen a lot of work.
