Hello All.

Well i have decided to number my truck on the following photo's. Has anyone got any information on this truck and its service during the war? The plate left of the truck is No 7 ( my family's lucky number) which is why im going with it and D114 is also going on the cab 12.

Default Looking good

The '7' on a round yellow plate was the weight of the loaded vehicle, known as a Bridge plate.

Engine looks good!

Tony, mate i will do. Please understand how much your videos fired me up to do this project ive watched your videos over and over and rekon its time you put a new video up. Lets face it over the whole internet how much footage is there on Cab 12s.... bugger all . It would be great to see your truck driving around as she is now, give us all a few minutes at least on your project and footage of the truck all over on what you have done.

Default Actually...

One Mr Keith Webb did a quick shoot of a general update with the truck at Corowa this year...

Is there any chance of seeing that on here Keith?

If you have some spare time?

Hi Tony

Spare time? What's that?

I haven't even been able to start editing the Corowa video for this year yet!

Unit sign indicates Water Carrying Coy: 157 on Red Green diagonal background. Interestingly the placement of digits and diagonal appears to accommodate lower white band indicating Corps Troops, but the band itself is not present. Perhaps it was overpainted upon transfer to a Divisional unit. The white band system was abolished in June '44 instructions.

Thanks for the feed back lads. Great information Tony not sure what unit i will go with.

As for today and putting the V8 in.. well all i can say the older you get the more you get used to people letting down. On the upside went to see Colin Jones which is always a pleasure to visit his home and having a chat.
