resto work and timeline
I bought it in 1991 and got it driving where I had some fun with it while at Bandiana, then stripped it down that year and had the chassis blasted and undercoated.
I was then moved to Ingleburn Sydney in Jan 1992, where I got the bulk of the restoration completed. Towards the end I had to move it to East Hills in Sydney (now a migrant facility) as I was posted to Holsworthy. I managed to finish the truck in either 1997 or 98 and had it on the road in the military vehicle club there. Its 1st real test drive was down the Hume Hwy to Mittagong for a picnic, and then back. In early 1999 we moved to Darwin and the truck was transported on a float as part of my move. Yes I did all the work, my Dad assisted with a few items such as rebuild of T-case, making the overflow tank.
