Barry has a Cushman Truckster. I seem to remember seeing By-law enforcement officers putting around Seattle with these back in the '70's. The motor was made by OMC if I remember correctly. Derek.

Derek and Rick you are both almost right. It is called a Westcoaster as opposed to Mike being an Eastcoaster. This compamy is almost a clone for Cushman. One big difference is that they used Onan engines instead of OMC. They made mailsters and trucksters. This one has an Army contract number on the data plate and was bought close to the Tobyhanna PA military base.
Ian Fawbert listed a trailer on Aus. Epay and it is advertised with 600X9 tires. Before these two I had never heard of 9 inch tires. I will do as
Mike says and check availability and if not I think Rob Love has the answer.
Cheers,
Barry
