Australian International K5

[Matt Austin]

Thank you very much, Ron, that info is gold!

I was aware that the 18x10.50 was a trailer type, having seen it on a field kitchen trailer (I think) once before. I thought at least one variety of smallish Chev truck or ute also used them? I'll take your suggestions, and appreciate your having taken the time to reply.

You've described my truck perfectly, as shown in the attached pic;

"The roof and rear part of the cabin is all local stuff done in a hurry and cheaply. The cabin rear is usually wooden frame with sheet metal nailed and bent over the top. Some had canvass roofs and some had sheet metal."

I wonder if I'll be able to register it with new wood, rebuilt as it was originally done? Lots to think about.

I also attached a pic to show what a wash does, to remove sixty-something years of grime. There's no evidence of the ARN, but the paint is mostly good.

Cheers,
Matt
