You could either be incredibly lucky and find one or you could fabricate it - the drawings exist for the No9 FGT (we have almost all of those) and probably also for the No8 too but not sure how you could access them.

Looks like you have a number of stencils there.
Worth giving it a gentle wet and dry to see what you can bring out. Usually it will be "GT 42" but at the factory the full model designation was often hand painted there.

Hi Ken, If Jason doesn't buy it I'd be very interested myself. I'll wait to hear the outcome as I don't want to jump the queue! Cheers, Tony

They're probably service history stencils like those found on FGT8 ARN 132257. This is Northern Command record so possibly a stablemate of Jason's FGT8 at some stage. Stencils appear to read:
Date repair to Class Class before repair N/Comd Mileage before repair Mine shows E/R (presumably Engine Replacement) some time in '57, and Jason's shows a '50s date in the same location, so I'm tipping it also refers to engine replacement.

Here's a pic of the chassis I mentioned Jason. It's very clean and straight, the only imperfections being the missing rear crossmember, damaged fishplates (wrong type for FGT anyway), some oxy damage to the round holes in the chassis rail ends, plus a bit of steel welded onto them.
I need the running gear off this chassis but the frame is yours for $100 if you finish up needing it. I'd leave the springs on as yours have had a hard life. Judging by your pics I suspect you'd need two new rear crossmembers and some new fishplates as well. I'll be getting several of each made up in due course so I can increase the order if need be. Also I'm not sure the winch crossmember fishplates are present on your chassis, so if you can post some pics of this area I can check. Anyway it's here if you ever need it and I'll keep it in case you do. As I said though you may be better off with a complete truck if you can find a suitable one up there.
