Keith, thanks for the information on the set up – I will start to research the Battery Staff Wireless Load M1 type / No2A Australian steel body. Many of those about? Picture of the Timber tray - it is ready for removal.
Do people typically find the spare wheel carrier bracing or make it up based on a pattern or pictures? I like the 20" wheels. Just priced the 9.00X20” NDT MILITARY 12PLY from that Co. in W.A... OUCH on the price! Look for 16’ as you suggested next. I have 5 wheels & Tyres. Mixture of tyre types. Appreciate the guidance. Having fun.

For less pain, try AgTyre in Moree, NSW for their 9.00-20 MRF NDMS Military Bar Tread. You might have to go on back order and place an order through a local dealer, but still ought to work out cheaper. AgTyre can be contacted on 1800 028988 or 02 6752 4299.

Picturs of the Chassis. Left and right and mid, drive shart. The rear leaf springs are doubled up. Appear to have overload springs attached. Is this normal? The wheel base was extended to 129", not 134". Was 101", Can still see where the spring perch was located originally. The drive shaft must be using a replacement from another truck and looks to be in ok condition. You can also see the chassis extention weld.

The auxillary springs were only standard on the c60s and c60l models
C15a only had 10 leaves on front and 12 on rear at 2" and 2.447" wide respectively . centre of eyes are 40" on front and 50" for rears

I see from the pic of the rear you have a Sunshine roof.

Thanks for the information on the C60 leaf spring set up application to this Andrew. I take it that it's ok to leave as is then?
Yes Keith, it is a Sunshine roof. Currently with Galvanised Tin screwed in place which I want to remove and make a canvas cover for. I will add a picture. Perhaps the same as a Blue one you might have had before if I saw some pictures of some of your vehicles? I also read that you have the pattern for the canvas for the roof. If it's possible, I would like to get a copy from you to make one up. I want to make the canvas / clear plastic door covers too.
