Hi Keith, I was wondering if you could please repost the photos that were here as I a would like to compare them to what I am restoring. Many thanks Malcolm.

There were a couple of these cranes up for sale at about the same time earlier this year. The ads were posted on this forum. Both were fairly complete, one was a Chev and the other a Ford.

Refer page 4 of 'For Sale Or Trade', Clearing Sale Yass Gap Range.

Thanks, yes I did hear about them. But only some time after... thanks though

Built by G H Olding (Plate tag: GHO). The RAAF, in typical fashion, had to call it something different to the Army!

Thanks Mike Cecil, I did not know what GHO stood for. I bet you are surprised I am actually going to finish it.. after almost 20 years! Do you have any inservice or other photos?
All the best, Malcolm

Jared,

I have a Derrick Truck then from the looks of it. If you need any information, please let me know, it is relatively intact.

I shared some pictures and information about it on a previous MLU thread:

C-60S Engineers CMP

Check it out! Cheers and welcome to the Derricks Club.

Regards, Richard
