What is this vehicle
Australian recovery unit Middle East 1942. Australian ute but where did the flares and dual wheels come from. Chev or Ford probably. Looks like Australia invented the dually pick-up! Or were Australian Army workshop blokes the first hotrodders?
Any Ideas? Lang Last edited by Lang; 10-02-19 at 08:18. |

Ute
Hi Lang
Yes I've seen that pic. Looks like a Aust. 1940 Ford coupe ute ( split rear windows ) fitted with unusual rear wheels possibly 900-13.

I think you are close. It looks like they have just cut the rear guards/fenders out to fit the wheels. Lang |

Ute
I looked at one of those utes during a Corowa event years ago. The little town between Corowa and Albury , NSW side of the river. The chap wasn't home but he had a junk yard with lots of stuff . He was selling a 1 ton army Ford 01Y but he had the coupe ute in the yard. The coupe ute was restorable but needed a lot of work.
