You mean this one Keith? - 61153.

These came from Cliff many years ago.

That's the one. Those were taken at Wesley. Your third pic is of one of the Fords.

Tim Vibert built a version of this truck many years ago.

That's what it says, the real truth can be established by the chassis number as the the front shell could have gone onto another vehicle.

Nice find! Do you hunt truffles in your spare time as well?

Default Further refinement

This is what the entry in the book says:

'Truck, 3 ton, Mock AA Gun Mounting’, engine number PR3794896, chassis number 2844300428. Sold to GM-H.

So as a mock up you'd expect it to have been reconverted to a normal truck. If you get access to it again Shane you can now check the numbers.
