C8
It is looking excellent Murray.That makes 3 restored C8's here , gee, they are becoming very common nowadays !
I think you'll find the tyres are the Australian Olympic brand rather than Dunlop. Some of the older agricultural towed devices use that tyre size, but with the advent of larger 'corporation' owned farms here, and the large scale farming methods ,much of that smaller farm machinery is now obsolete. Around here they all seem to go for the large round roll up type hay bales. Yes , you have to pester the tyre people for the odd sizes like 900-13. I found the MRF guy at Agtyres (Tony I think) in Moree NSW, was fantastic , he bent over backwards to help . He even had a basic knowledge of Blitz's and knew of the Chev /Ford differences too . Happy motoring in your C8 Mike

New C8
Murray
Brilliant job, is now a further insiration for me on the 100 year project Well done P.S. Does anyone know where I can access a diagram of how the body goes together for my Portee, Its a heap in the shed and the 3 rolls of film of the disassembly went through the washing machine in my shirt during the drought when we were drinking beer instead of water Rookie

Royal Australian Artillery
Hi Murray:
You mentioned anti-tank "battalion" and I thought I might mention the the RAA like its Commonwealth sisters (RA, RCA, RNZA) use the term "regiment" to describe a battalion sized organisation. For lots of great info on the RAA see: http://australianartilleryassociation.com/ http://www.defence.gov.au/ARMY/RRAA/default.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Australian_Artillery You'll find that the Gunners are a warm and welcoming bunch and will be keen to help you out with research into your vehicle's history. Welcome to the C8/F8 club!   Mike
