Killer CMPs
I remember some time ago seeing a CMP which had been involved in a fatal accident when pulling out of a driveway back in the 1950s.
Yesterday I found another... Butter wouldn't melt in it's mouth... http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3799/9...9c8da2c7_o.jpg A C15A, I think started life as a silvan. But something isn't quite right... http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3735/9...85c600ed_o.jpg Do you see it? Despite the grille, that's an entire Ford cab 'engineered' on. Talking the owner, this was given to him some time ago, and had been a Rural Fire Service truck which had been rolled, resulting in the fatality. |
Making it fit
A bit of gas axe technology was employed...

The original Chev dash was used complete with late instrument upgrade. The wooden part of the steering wheel had been replaced with a steel tube version welded on. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5344/9...10dfbd88_o.jpg |
Keith - when you say silvan - do you mean 'civilian' or silvan as in the Dandenongs?

Autocorrect strikes again! It's actually north of Gundagai.
