Default 2 Pdr Body

Hi Tony

I have just had a look at the chassi of my F60l Portee, it's very dark down there, but I am 99.99% sure that my chassis has not go the roller assembly on it, and my spare chassis did not have it either.
The winch is a hand winch that is mounted on the front of the body, under the crew seat.
Last weekend we had the majority of my vehicles out on display, and we demonstrated how to winch the 2 Pdr up onto the back of the truck.

Hope that helps.

Tim Scriven

GT, Go with a GS-style resto, keep the winch fittings because one will turn up one day...
My two bob's worth...

Default Thanks fellahs

Thanks very much Tim & H

Yeah I can't see much point in ripping what's left on there... its not interfering with anything at this point, so we'll compare notes & trucks at the next meet.

This seems to be Corowra at this stage. Tim, I sure hope your Portee makes another appearance then I'll pour all over it with digital camera in hand.

As I mentioned earlier the plan will one day be to get it back to a portee but that will be dependant on stumbling onto a back and a two pounder .

You never know.

Default Generous to say the least

Robert,

Is there anything you'd like in exchange for the winch? Its an extremely generous offer & heck yeah! I'd love to have it!! Sincerely thank you very much!

Max You've already been more help then I could ever expect of anyone & quite frankly my truck would not be at the stage its up to without the generous amount of time you've provided. To say nothing of the parts that youve GIVEN me without any expectation of return!

Fortunately I do have something for you - to be revealed at another date.

There are other fellahs on here who've also been extremely generous with time, info & photos. You can see who they are from reading this thread!!!

I am stunned by the level of goodwill & generosity on this site. It truly does demonstrate that there are decent people still in world!!
I'm sure the fellahs who have protected our freedom in all conflicts would be grinning from ear to ear if they could see this forum.

Hi Tony, you are welcome to it but at that price you get to unbolt it while I watch and learn It will be good to double the number of MLUers that have visited here and you can study Keith's blitz as well. I'll have the FEL ready for the lifting
PS bring Howard along and we wont need the FEL
