Default C8

It was amongst some other trucks, mainly fords which have been made into trailers, its drivable, he HOP in and take it for a spin I said NO, I wouldn,t come back, It,s not mine ( yet ) so at the moment not much to see. It is in great condition, runs ,stops and has many original bits, some removed like the rear corners of the steel body.

Default C8

One of the ford trucks had trouble with the door posts cracking so they modified the thing by welding up the door and cutting a new one. I,m working on it .

Default F8 not C8

I'm sure that Jason Ginn's 8 is a Ford not a Chev.

(Under restoration)Queensland, Australia
(Running) Queensland, Australia
(Under restoration) New South Wales, Australia
(Almost running) Victoria, Australia

War Museum (C8?), Ontario, Canada

Thanks for your input! Sure does appear that the Chevrolets are the favorite for restoration! Again, any corrections/additions are appreciated.
