Ah yes, the 20cwt QF 3 inch. A WW1 era design .

This fire pump is seen in Footscray , a inner Western suburb of Melbourne . The pump looks like one of the GM-H built pumps, it has Chevrolet wheels and hubs fitted . The engine in these pumps may have been a Ford 10. Update: the engine is a 4 cyl. Side valve.

Repairing the running board of a 1940 GMC truck. The ' General Motors Truck' trim is seen on the bonnet.

The running board support brackets are fixed with heavy duty rivets, I drilled out these rivets yesterday, on my 1940 Chevrolet 15 cwt chassis, what a horrible job !

The 'Holden' body tag is seen on the lower corner of the cowl. These cabs are made from a heavy gauge steel, I'm guessing around 18 gauge. I can barely lift and move a door by myself, so heavy. I'm looking for a decent cab, my examples require major repairs.

A SLV photo with a interesting history. The sailor is wearing a Kriegsmarine uniform.

"One of them, Erich Meyer, died three months later of lung cancer. He became the only crew member to die on Australian soil."
