Ford FGT No9 Aust 134855 rebuild
Another step on the long road to restoration for the FGT when I removed the 2C1 box which had been sitting on the rear of the subframe (to keep it off the ground). It made the FGT into some sort of oversize pickup.
It was a case of undo the temporary U-bolts, lift it up, drive out and back in a trailer, ready for it's trip to Ganmain Tony to try out his welding skills.   I must admit, this is a very gnarly CMP!  The bits of primer are where I had to heat and use multigrips to remove sheared off bolts on the front shell.

Looks like it is real good conditons
Hi Keith
Looks like a great project, is the cab unit is as good a condition as it looks? Are these the origin of the crew cab pickup? Cheers Phil

Cab
The cab is pretty good although there are some areas of rust to deal with. At least it's not knocked around. There are a few additional holes where extra lighting has been added.

crew cab pick up
Phil, the cew cab pick up (PMG), was a coach built body with three doors.
Keith's FGT had a small towing jib fitted to the rear post war.

Just shows, never work/quote from a failing memory!!
The 4x4 looks like it has a blade on the front: maybe a high country linesmans truck? (angle blade, like for clearing snow .... probably work OK on stupid 'roos, too. Nice clean truck: looks freshly converted. Mike C
