Default 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

Default 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.

Default 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.

Any idea what the tangle on the front of the Ford might be? Looks like it may be mounted on the vehicle, not just hung on there to get it up off the ground.
