Ryan,
Keep them coming. You must have your Ebay set up well to locate all these blitz's and bits. Should let Mike Kelly know. Interesting what's in the background as well. Can't tell if it's a Chev or a Ford from those photo's.
Regards Rick

Default Another C8 in Australia

Hi Guys,
I have this C8 for inclusion She's not on the Road yet but she does drive.
Can you tell me if the Dubbo tray was a standard for these little trucks in Australia? The before Picture was taken by the Guy I brought her of apparently she was used by a Lumber yard I think this is where the Tray can from. He did the current restoration around 1998 and never took her to full completion.

Hi , another C8 . Welcome .

Yes the Dubbo body, or as its better known as, the Duple UK built 8 cwt body is usually seen on the Australian C8 imports. We are not sure when or where these were fitted, or why the Duple version body is so prevalent here. Have any other Duple bodied 8cwt's been found anywhere outside of Australia ?

Your in the market for a set of wheel adapters and wheels I see !

Hi Mike,
Yes I'm on the look for a set of wheels she's running the land cruiser split rims at the Mo. any ideas? I'm also chasing some of the dash switches and a fuel Tank for the left side, Set of side steps... the list goes on! does any one have the plans for the Dubbo tray? I know there's plans around for some other types.
Where would I find the Chassis number on this old Girl? she's missing the normal id plates on the engine tin wear someone at some time has add a doc holder and I assume removed them.
Ill take some more photos when I'm back in Cairns I'm currently In PNG I work FIFO which means provided I keep the missus happy I get to spend a certain amount of time "Playing" as she says with my Projects.
