Best of all are the front door skin.....I like the galvanized sheeting from a barn.....ahem... Canadian barn that is!!!!

Amazing what's out there.

Road Trip??
 

Other than a few significant wet patches, this would be a fun trip, Bob! Is there a ferry from Tierra del Fuego to Yass?

Maybe a former No6 arty tractor... Looks like someone's been trying to bleed the brakes.

It's at Woori Yallock, not that far out of Melbourne. Fair bit of bidding too.

I am now the proud owner of this beast!
Run's like a charm,the wifes going to kill me..^_^..

Congrats Alan!

CMP Spotted
 

Alan,
Great to meet you & look over your new prodject, its always good to see another CMP saved from the scrap metal blokes. I hope we can help with any parts you need.

First things first
 

Looks like you need a set of mudguards... then some doors... sidesteps... rear body...

Re. First Things First
 

And don't forget a beautifully restored or replacement instrument panel.

Re: C60S
 

Hi Keith ..
Some of the C 60S's with winch were set up as wreckers and had the Holms wrecKer on them...
Max may have a line on a parts truck here...

Re: Re: C60S
 

After Euan had a look he commented the winch was a retrofit.

Instruments
 

Hey Salesman Bob,
Are you doing late production gauges now? I thought you would have picked up on the fact it's a late type.

Late Type
 

Hi Euan
No still only the early type. I need the right tools to spin off and re-attach the bezels and I don't even know what they look like.
Bob

Special tools
 

These work a treat....

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

paint
 

Sanded through the paint layers today,no sign of green paint first layer is red oxide followed by grey,then it was red/maroon/blue/yellow. Any idea's!!

Re: paint
 

could have been used by the RAAF, I have the remains of one here that was blue.
Max

Could be a dark blue color,hard to tell.

Paint layers
 

Hi Alan,
Sounds like you are still sanding though the circus paint. :D :cheers:

No just clowning around!!..^_^..

Found some ID numbers today,can any help identify them.

Under engine bonnet LHS 1943 RHS S443 or maybe 8443?

Order no E-52-384
Chassis model R100
Chassis serial no 3-8443-60506M
Build date 29-6-44

Thanks!!

Interesting!
8443 is the GM code for a C60L, yet your vehicle appears to have a 134in wb making it a C60S. Is there any sign the chassis has been cut and shortened?
Contract E52-384 only appears to be for Ford F60S and F60L trucks (so far!) for the RAAF. R100 is a GM-H body code for an RAAF vehicle and the M in the serial no indicates Melbourne assembly. Other RAAF Chev/GM-H vehicles have appeared under contract marked SM-E52-448

Thanks Tony!!
Also found small plate on LHS of dash crossmember.

body no WTS 540 ? very hard to read.
model W/O CAB
JOB NO 414 3401A

Tomorrow i attack it with the pressure cleaner..

Chev Blitz on Ebay
 

go here
Just found this one.

Chev
 

Didn't this one appear some long time ago? Wasn't it the one with circus connections?

Can't find the link to the original sale - where's Hanno!

I notice engine size is listed as 2.3 litres - perhaps 3.6 would be closer to the pin.

You would have to hope it was only uncovered for the photos with no distributer cap, no air cleaner and no breather cap on the rocker cover. The starter is also removed.

Chev
 

You'd hope so... funny looking rad as well.

Is that a Blue Flame motor?

Chev 235 Blue Flame?

Good memory you have, Keith. Or is a selective one? I bet you remember an item like this, but forget anniversaries, eh? :D (Just talking from own experience. . .)

Anyway, I found the original thread and merged it with the new one.

MLU Forum member Alan Coulson last posted a message here well over 18 months ago. I hope he's doing fine.
