We went 50/50 so helped me out as I took the truck, which is now tray less! Hence my search to see what it had on it as a tray in the past.

which was in a recent clearing sale?

It certainly didn't look like it had hit a bridge before being sold at the clearing sale. Possibly the wheels were removed to lower it after hitting something while being transporting it on the back of the truck. What a shame.

I think it was Another Blitz on Oz EBAy. It was without wheels and it seems the roof was already damaged.

Yes I think you're right. Somehow I had missed it. These C8AX vehicles are as common as anything here now.

Does anyone know what happened to this one?

Jesus, $3000 for a C60L at a clearing sale!

Ah a Dodge T110. I have driver handbooks for these NOS.

That's a savage bit of rust in an unusual place in the brow of the cab.

Looks like there's a fair bit of interest in it. I think the roof hatch is the same as used on the Ford cab 12 here - they were made by an outside supplier for Ford and Dodge.
