 What a big moment that is.The pic you sent me looked like the carby and other critical parts (like plug leads) were missing, so perhaps it was some sort of divine intervention?

It's been a while since your last post so Have you got to drive your truck yet? What part of the woods is Ganmain in? I am new to this Army truck scene so could you let me know what make of truck is it, tonage and age? V8 motors do have that special rumble and vibration through the gound don't they! I went from a V8 car to a V6 and it just does not seem the same as my old V8 Kind Regards Lionel

Apologies Lionel
G'day Lionel,
Sorry to have been so slow to reply. Ive also had trouble getting on due to the MLU's server having some issue's but I'm back. Ganmain is 40mins nor nor west of Wagga Wagga, there's myself & a good mate of mine Howard who is also an MLU'er who live here. Howards also the bloke responsible for getting me into this stuff. Keith Webb also aided & abetted (Mind you, I didnt need my my arm severely twisted..) My truck is a 1942 Cab 12 Ford 60 Hundredweight Long wheelbase or F60L. According to the ARN 7753 the truck was originally a 2pounder anti tank portee. (If you google this you'll see a picture of one) They look awesome! Sadly, I dont have that back for it as it was converted to general service (transport) and had a GS back put on it in 1944 . It also had an engine change during the war. The army must have realised that anyone in this, going up against any enemy tank would have been turned to chutney. Engine is a Mercury 239 cubic inch side valve V8 with crab distributer. Check out the website that Howard has created called shedfullofshit.com & let us know what you think. Look forward to photo's of your truck and update's on progress.
