I interviewed the owner who is a woodworker.

He was aiming (using photos) at making an Indian pattern gun tractor using a C15A as a basis.

The vehicle is powered by a Ford Falcon motor and F250 (I think it was) gearbox. It has a LPG tank under the crew seat.

Oops, a Ford engine in a Chev truck . . . . that will not get the nod from the bowtie guys

Graham Arkle from Victoria drove his Stalwart to Corowa again and this year decided to put it in the lagoon. He offered people rides. This is the first time a Stalwart has gone into the water. A number of GPA's also went into the river. We were fortunate that the water level was up this year.
