Default FAT cab 13 No 9 resto

Hi

I am looking for interior shots of the No 9 Australian Ford Guntractor.

There are a few brackets on the inside and outside I am not sure about. WWII shots or good restos welcome .

Here are a few shots of my FGT.

I have no idea what the slots on the rear drivers side ledge where the spare is stored are for not the bracket with the bolt in it. behind the spare wheel.

There is a bracket on the outside next to the back left door with a pad riveted to it that also eludes me.

Here are some pics with the last being a banner I found in the left storage hatch .

Default slots

Hi Gina,
The slots are where a plate covers and protects the spare wheel.

WOW! A millionaire (in pounds) in 1960 would have been a massively huge prize. Even a Dollar Millionaire in 1966 would have been simply unheard-of. Perhaps the prize was only a give-away of a million Gallons of Super petrol, which would have been a pittance those days.

A QANTAS Electra so worth a watch

I was underneath today trying to find the serial number...doesn't seem to be on chassis rail near stbd engine mount. I noticed my diff convoy light is in a different place to that on the AWM. Mine shines on the port side of the Banjo . I rubbed the Banjo back and the original white paint is there on the port side and quite a fair way out so the part where the axle outer joins the banjo un to about half way up th banjo .

Also the little red green convoy light switch is still there.Post Army use someone has replaced the Banjo convoy light with a spotlight that illuminates the winch....

Default Chassis number

The number is normally on top of the right chassis rail adjacent to the engine mount. I've looked and can't see one on mine either. It should also be stamped onto the gearbox bell housing.
