If the wheel well is only one wheel wide, it didn't spend time of a 6x6 F1 either, so must have been sold off prior to, or soon after the change over to the Studebaker in 59-60. (and they were not mounted on 4x4 2 1/2 ton Mk.3)
My guess is it was sold originally on a Blitz, but the joker who purchased it wanted another body type (tray?) so ditched the workshop body. Good that you will not have to alter it back to the blitz configuration, and it also means the bolt holes in the floor should align with a given Blitz WW2 machinery type. Mike C |

It still has Vietnam era signage, electrical switch board, power points and wiring. I don't think the Inter F1 needed wheel wells so they were cut out and boarded over. The spare wheel cavity behind the driver has been replaced by a extra section of wire netting, using more modern fittings, but the top weld has broken where it was joined to the original wire netted side.

Well, you learn something new everyday. I stand corrected.
An F1 'mount' it is. Mike |

The services here did also use QUALOS and MARS and a few other Aust. brands as well during WW2 . I have a New Visby lathe - these were built by Purcell in Sydney during wartime for essential work. Its a pretty rough machine in some respects , the casting looks like a contemporary Asian made low end of the market item ( rough ) but that sort of thing didnt matter during the war .
