Very interesting. What type of vehicle is this representing?

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.

I got home late Sunday and was absolutely knackered so I havent had a chance to post any photo's.

Anyway, a small contribution below...

Weather was perfect, warm days, cool nights and hardly any mozzies. Made sleeping in the swag on the back of the truck very pleasant.

Had a great time catching up with old faces, meeting new ones and getting to know some people a bit better. Could have spent a month down there.
