I have a mate who has a ‘home’ engineering works. I don’t know how he manages to do it, but he seems to have one of everything. Another semi retired guy who lives here was a tool maker by trade, and said he’d love to cut and press it up with me. Nothing like calling in every favour from everyone I know to help out. Think the town will be glad when I'm finished!
The engine I will drop into the chassis after work tomorrow. The good thing about being an Aussie doing up a Kiwi truck is if anyone tells me the colour or something isn’t quite right all I have to say “it’s a Kiwi thing”! Mike - The plans you sent me have been invaluable to this project.

Timber type?
Engine in and most of cab on. Spent the afternoon with a mate getting the tray ‘plum’ and a bit welded together. Hope to work on it more this weekend.
Any comments on what Aussie timber to use on the truck decking – ran into an old farmer in town tonight and he said some trucks had bearers of ironbark but with Apple Gum floor boards in his day. More incline to stick to all Ironbark. Any ideas?

Tail gate hooks
Here is a pic of the hooks on C8AX #891
They have a hinged drop down section that locks them in place. Other trucks I've seen have a curved pin like the toolbox lockers.
