I know Tony was hoping it was a ford to but no joy, if it was i would have got it.
Trying to get a hold of Adelaide military museum but no one will get back to me.

So i am trying another avenue my dad retired from the army after 30 odd years now works for Veterans Affairs so we will try to get the paper work through freedom of information he said it might take up to 6 months if we are lucky but i will give anything ago at the moment.

Default Adelaide No8

Theirs is a sort of facsimile upper rear built on a genuine No8 chassis and subframe. You really need a genuine one to copy, and there is one a little closer to home.

There are a couple in Qld but I don't have any details of where they are. This one belongs to Len Watkins, just out of Sydney.

Hi Keith so the main diff between the no8 and no9 tractors for the rear are,the roof height no9 higher,the rear door single on no8 and the spare wheel carrier on the RH side of the no9 and lockerbox's on no8.
the extra side doors (rear seat) are they all the same dual cab and ford and chev.

Default engine no

Hi Jason, just curious does your engine have 21 head studs or 24.
I think that mine is a Ford pilot but not for certain, but the engine no is quite similar
