I posted a picture of the ARN in its usual position on the front shell.

Keith was able to find it in the records. Mike Cecil added some very valuable information about it as well.

Hi Tony,

My bad. Should have looked at the beginning of the thread.
Cheers,

58394, written as 58-394, on the doors of an F60L Garage. Image taken January 1988 at Cowangie, Victoria. Disposal was at war's end in Victoria.

Looked like a nice straight, rust free cab chassis. Doubt it is still there. Wonder what happened to it.

You don't often see the ARN on the doors of Australian assembled CMPs, very unusual.

Firstly,

Thanks Mike and Keith for the comments and photo's. Good to know there have been other trucks in service with the ARN on the door.

I am still pinching myself as this day has proved to be elusive over the past couple of years... but the engine is in!!!!

Still a long way to go and I hope it proves to be a successful start up.

But hey! I am very happy at this point in time.

Looking smart Tony. I like the engine paint colour. What exactly is it please?

Will take picture of can tomorrow.

My engine, it turns out is a '46 C69A and has had a postwar rebuild by Ford. Block has an AVR number on it to verify this.

Would also indicate it is not the original engine. So I guess I am using a bit of licence with the colour selection.

It is a Ford blue and may have come out a little later but I do believe some of these rebuilds did use this colour.

Here it is Lynn as promised. Engine enamel in a can.

AVR number for the record and another stamping that I am not familiar with.
