Sorry chaps! Im back. Apologies for the delay in transmission.

Thanks Tim, I do have one of those splitter blocks you're refering to. VERY grateful for the kind offer however.

Keith & Robert can't thank you enough! INVALUABLE to say the least. Seems I may make some progress this weekend.

One question, Ive got a dirty big bit of angle iron welded behind that last chassis cross brace (towards the back) is it part of the old winch assy or is it a genuine Holgate accessory??

Tony that sounds very much like a Holgate special if it's as you describe. Didn't yours have the rear fairleads still in place?

Default As requested

G'day fellahs

Photo's as asked - the bit Im refering to is just above the diff. Is it a Holgate genuine accessory or something from Holdens bodyworks. Just keep in mind the truck was an antitank portee converted to general transport in 1944. (i'm guessing it would have had a winch fitted then)

You can see the holes in the chassis where the winch was mounted and I am assuming you are refering to the crossmember with what appears to be a winch cable roller attached? If you look further forward of the diff you can see the flat crossmember has winch rollers on it as well and on a 'normal' winch truck this would be at the rear of the chassis like on the Gun Tractors. Keith (and others) would have a better knowledge of whether it is a genuine all original piece or not and in the correct position for a portee but I have attached a copy of the F60L (no winch) lube chart which shows the chassis layout.

The cable roller for the winch normally goes under the chassis not on top.
