The real thing
I found another FGT #9 last weekend, or should I say my dear WIFE found it... it belongs to the partner of one of her painting friends and has been in constant use for the past 25 years in his ownership.
Although it has been cut down, it still had one significant asset...  More pics here

1942 Order!
That's another of those 1942 Orders for Australia accounted for! S/M 2508 was for Gun Tractors, and so is now proven to be for Ford C291Q models.
After the war it seems that a number of GTs were registered in the UK on demob as agricultural tractors, though I have never heard of a conversion to a crane before. It must have been done though. Thanks for that one!

I have seen pictures of one #9 converted to a delivery van.

CMP Data plate
Hi there
How common was it to mix and match the data entries on the plates. Line three asks for the trim number and the contract number is there Line four asks for the paint code and the date of manufacture is there. Am I missing something  : Steve

Data tags
The classic example is Oshawa's insertion of the engine prefix for Walkerville/Windsor-built engines in the "TRIM" section of 1940-41 trucks.

TYRES
Has anyone thought of asking the Indians whether they could produce tyres to the relevant spec?

Perhaps this is the same truck
 Compare with this picture I took in 1973  I'm not sure whether Bill Drew converted more than one FGT like this but I think he did... his was a distinctive cutdown and if not this particular truck, it was probably done by him.
