Hi Mike and Rick

Thanks for the responses.

I was surprised to see that it was publish this year, Mike when you said "I spotted a recently published non-fiction book about a outback family during the 1930's to 40's." I was expecting something written in the 1950's with a recent reprint but apparently it is entirely new, for inquiring minds here is a link to a little more on the book http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/1990883...on=NBD55842715

Now will have to see if my retired librarian wife can find me a copy in the library system. Looks like the kind of read I enjoy.

Cheers Phil

Now I think, that this vehicle is the dogs dangly bits and one that I would love to renovate and own. You are doing Nice job and I have to admit that I am just a tiny bit jealous, well very actually.

Greetings Gents,
Back doing a few more jobs, had the rear leaf springs reset as the back was too low and sitting on the helper springs.
I'm finishing off the wiring using a nos harness I found a while back. Thanks to some good people in the East I got some serviceable side lights to use for the stop and tail lights, no indicators on this puppy.
Sticking with the 6 volt system and generator... yeah I know but hey.
Going madder still, I will use the original vacuum wipers and run steel tube and rubber pipes as was the way.
I also replaced the air dam in the nose section as this had been modified too much and was not the original one anyway, for some reason they always have holes blown in them.
Sprayed the interior final coat with paint sourced locally and thanks to Jim S for getting a perfect colour match from an original Chev Radio Van.

Fitted my mint dash panel which was restored by the Late Bob Mosley and am very happy with it and every thing works!

Still lots to do but hearing it start is not far off and my next mission.
