Just shows, never work/quote from a failing memory!!

The 4x4 looks like it has a blade on the front: maybe a high country linesmans truck? (angle blade, like for clearing snow .... probably work OK on stupid 'roos, too.

Nice clean truck: looks freshly converted.

Any idea what the tangle on the front of the Ford might be? Looks like it may be mounted on the vehicle, not just hung on there to get it up off the ground.

I recall I couldn't get any closer than this but it appears to be something driven from the crankshaft, possibly some sort of pump arrangement.

Could it be a weed sprayer?

Default ex Ford PMG crew cab?

I guess this stretched F15 must have been one of the rare Ford PMG trucks. Note professional chassis extension job, windscreen pillars "verticalized", cab frame welds suggestive of crew cab extension, remnants of door pillars, and of course....red paint!
