C8AX with original rear tub.. the price is over optimistic , he probably bought it for $5oo Mike

[Alex van de Wetering]

Or more likely from a cab 12 Ford... wonder what happened to the rest of it.

It seems someone had a good deal for 99 cents!

Unfortunately, I am selling my F15a. Too many projects, I just can't see I will ever get to it.

Here's the link.

Here are a bunch more photos of the truck, spare tray and parts which go with it.

Edit: currently sold for $2500AU for bits all seen in pics above. Going (back!) to Qld if all goes well.



Cheers,
Ian.

Tom Walsh's old tow truck... I remember it from when I was a small child.
Giles Bros. Ford in Temora had one too, and it still exists also.

Thats the one Richard! I did try to find some info about it when i stopped off in Temora, Coota and Junee a few years back, but people only remembered seeing it about, but nothing particular in terms of its history or photos.

Do you remember, did Tom have it for very long? It seems to have changed hands 3 or 4 times (well at least painted in different colours and business names on the door) in the greater Temora/Cootamundra area before Ken Hughes picked it up, based on markings on the door.

Ford is noticeable in script on the passengers side door- could Giles Bros have had 2 at one stage? I will need to check my pics and notes of when i started to sand back the doors and see if i can find the names i found.

Cheers,
Ian.

I will check if Giles Bros. had two.
I only remember one being there, but I may be mistaken.

RRReeeeaaalllyyyyyyy.... Where? Photos?
When my Grandfather closed his Ford dealership in the mid 1950's, he referred all of his business to Giles Bros.

A customer from Ungarie bought it in about 1978 or 79 when they replaced it with an F100. I spoke to him about a week ago briefly and he still has it.
It's now powered by a Falcon 6.
