New Addition to the Stable

[T Creighton]

Thanks for the latest pics Mike. They give me more ideas on how things go together. Especially the frame etc behind the seats. The fully restored trucks at shows look great but the photos of the un restored ones and wrecks are better for chassis details. That CMP cab looks just the part

A week ago I had no intention of having another project on the go. I am just starting on a new g/s body for the F30.
A month or so back my son in law sent me a pic of a derelict looking truck sitting in a demolition yard 1.5 hrs drive away. Had no idea what it was.
At our last military vehicle club meeting in Tauranga we had a dvd of a London to Brighton MV rally and I saw a Morris gun tractor. I put two and two together and did the deal on Sat.
We had a tilt deck truck to pick it up with but they were determined to use a forklift. Result badly bent driveshaft and tie rod.
I am going to take off the non military bits and store it for a while.
I like just looking at it. The workmanship is beautiful. My whitworth spanners will have to come out of retirement.
Cheers Terry

Ps. Aus and NZ will have to have a quiet game of rugby on our own somewhere. Boo Hoo
