Hi Bob,

That Austin sounds like a K9 1 ton truck, they had that size tyres. Built around 1952 on, they used the civilian Loadstar cab with minor alterations such as roof hatch and a flare around the front wings to clear the larger tyres. The late Bob Dimer from WA had one and drove it on the Trackers run up to Alice in 2000.

See this link for a photo of the radio bodied version of a K9
