CGT bodies
Actually Euan's came from a different source, via Bruce Wiltshire who restored it. It was not one of the Hughes bodies.
There is another (not from Hughes) which has just arrived at the museum in Adelaide and there are several others such as the remains of one at Copley, another which was used in the making of the Back of Beyond, and even one which wound up at Wayne M's in the 70s.
Then there's the cut up one recovered from Ballarat about 5 years ago which is destined for Dubbo.
And there is yet another in South Australia which has had the lower subframe removed.
So while we don't know the exact number of Chev bodies produced it would seem there were at least 45 CGT9s built late in the war. Only 2 were known to have been completed.
The AWM have a restored No9 FGT in their collection in the annexe as well as a F15A and F60L cab 12 GS.
As far as reproducing the No9 there are engineering drawings for most if not all the parts in existence.
