Can you tell me if the Dubbo tray was a standard for these little trucks in Australia? The before Picture was taken by the Guy I brought her of apparently she was used by a Lumber yard I think this is where the Tray can from. He did the current restoration around 1998 and never took her to full completion.

Hi , another C8 . Welcome .

Yes the Dubbo body, or as its better known as, the Duple UK built 8 cwt body is usually seen on the Australian C8 imports. We are not sure when or where these were fitted, or why the Duple version body is so prevalent here. Have any other Duple bodied 8cwt's been found anywhere outside of Australia ?

Your in the market for a set of wheel adapters and wheels I see !
