Default Not only that

It's a FORD!

Looks a little like a stretched No8 Aust FGT too.

What fun.

Default Steriodal HUP / Aus Tractor

Hi Keith,

Yes you are correct. The builder has used a 134" wheelbase F60 that was used locally as a tomato wagon. Using pics of the Aus Tractor, he is building a "big brother". It has only been eight months since he found the truck. It has been a "frame off resto including drive train. He has done remarkable work for such a short period of time. I think he will out do me in restoration time.


cheers from the Home of the Blitz/CMP Fords....Windsor Ontario

Calm down, Chevrolets are subjected to this sort of thing as well.

How´s this for a C60L "Crew Cab"?!? The owner dismantled the truck to the last rivet(!), as it was very rusty due to beach use, and rebuilt it with some room to carry his family.


The C60L above was converted from one of the well-known (in Holland, anyway) ex-Rescue Services Chevrolets, as pictured below. As they were used on the beaches, they have severe issues with rust.

I'd hate to meet the "shagee" that could bounce those springs...

Doesn't the 'shagger' do the bouncing while the 'shagee' just transmits the motion so to speak?
