Default Lend Lease Chev Just on the Trailer

Two weeks before Corowa a mate and I went off on our bikes to undertake some exploration of farms that are well of the main road using a GPS with Lands Department mapping software. In a lot of places in Australia farms are accessed thru a neighbours or several neighbouring properties. So armed with the fact that we would be on gazetted roads and not private property off we went. By the end of the day we had plotted the location of 15 WW2 vehicles still sitting around awaiting an offer. In some cases the owners thought that dads old truck was worth as much as a new truck. But as anyone who has restored one of these old warhorses will tell you it is so much cheaper on time and the wallet to buy a finished truck than put in the effort yourself but for me I love spending time in the shed so I am a hopelessly addicted restorer.
Heres a photo of the Chev that I bought as a spares truck just on the trailer but we made the trip home OK taking all the back roads. Second photos shows the new truck and my existing Chev.

Happy Truck Hunting
