Initial inspection shows the drive train to be intact and turning freely. The V8 engine is stuffed and will probably need a replacement as it has sat for a long time with no heads or manifolds on it. The chassis is badly rusted in places but is repairable. The cabin is in very poor condition but as these WOT cabs are simply constructed with limited panel pressings they can be easily dissected and new panels made. Sort of.

The roof has an interesting double skin with a vent that allows air to pass through the front and out the back. A sort of tropical roof I guess to assist in cooling the cab. Hopefully the top skin can be salvaged and repaired.

One concern is a damaged transfer case which has been roughly repaired with bronze. It appears to be functioning however but unsightly.

It will be a while before we get started on this truck but we would like any contact or assistance with other owners to determine what is missing in and around the cab. Particularly the seats, engine cover, gauges and fuel tank and spare wheel carrier.

Wot
We first laid eyes on that vehicle many years ago. The VMVC had a couple of XMAS trips to the previous yard at Lysterfield , along Wellington road. Would have been 1976 the first one. Anyway Ash Wednesday burnt out the Lysterfield yard , John nearly lost the whole collection , he moved to the new spot only a short time before the massive bush fire.
A couple of us were hoping we could restore it as a club project but that idea never got past the initial thoughts. It was in better condition back then , the ACF logo was not so faded. Andrew B has a pic or two of it somewhere . Good luck with it

I did some work on a WOT6 3 tonner some 11 years ago and here are a few photos that might be of help. Sending photos in several posts.
