Belfield
John Belfield is currently restoring one of those wreckers, the vehicle was found by a VMVC member many years ago ( 1970's ) up near Canberra , Braidwood I think. The club member who found it suggested it would make a good club project for the VMVC but sadly the usual club politics ended that idea !
There is a feature article in the current VMVC newsletter written by John , describing the restoration. He welded the two chassis halves back together and the cab has been professionally restored by Simon Allen VMVC , the guy who makes new Dodge command car bodies from scratch.
I will try to copy and paste the article .
