Hi Lang and Bev,
Great to see your on your way promoting Mens Health. Well done. I see the article in the new Vintage Truck mag. I guess Colin has asked the right question about the Nash. Regards Rick

The trip is now finished and went well. www.willys.com.au
We made an effort to track down military stuff along the way - on track only, not wasting time by charging off into the shrubbery. It is amazing how much is still out there. Lots and lots of WW2 two wheel drive trucks, mostly 3 ton Chevs, Fords and Internationals with a few Dodges - few still running but many easy restorers. Many jeeps, weapon carriers etc but the king of the west was the blitz. Kept a score and at the end of 4 weeks and 6,000km total CMP count in all condition from full running to abandoned cabs was 127. The dry weather makes most vehicles seen very restorable. Most of these could have been bought for peanuts as there is little interest or use for them now, unfortunately the killer is the cost of getting them two or three thousand kilometres back to civilization. Jeeps are worth the effort (although farmers know they are worth something these days) because you can get them yourself on a trailer and their eventual high restored sale value. Unfortunately a restored truck would not give you your money back, even if you did not count your labour. Lang
