Keith thank you for sharing these. Tim is to be congradulated on a very nice restoration.

among the photos on your web site is the one below. What was attached to the area just behind the door where the four holes are?

cheers

Cliff I suspect it was possibly for a fire extinguisher bracket like this one:

Just want to know whether the fire extinguisher bracket shown was a war time fit or post war.

I am trying to get the vehicle as close to representing a war time vehicle as possible. Any other suggestions on what I need to add to the vehicle.

Yes it is a WW2 fit. Below is a pic of a C60L Machinery truck taken at Monegeeta around 1943.

Yes, Robert - you must have been doing spy missions... that one was taken in Winter - looks like it's come out from the deep freeze...

Kieth, that particular vehicle is now well under restoration, has been sandblasted and painted, just needs reassembling.

Hey Robert...

What was it about the old rule "i" before "e" except after "k"???

Keith

I'll have to call in to see Ashley next time I'm in Yass. Do you need to make an appointment now?

Sorry KEIth, I should be more careful. Don't worry about Ashley, I'll take you on a private tour if you like, just let me know.

I think I had better watch out you two just in case you come sneeking round my shed.
